It wasn't until I was about 17 or 18 years old that I got into music

I've always been heavily engaged with my fans on the internet from day one. That connection's one of the reasons why I've been able to enjoy such longevity in my career.

I moved here to California when I was 13 to pursue my acting career

If you want reach fans on-line definitely pay attention to things like hashtags and to what's trending at the moment. Try to connect to what's hot and to reach out to and to follow the right people. You never know who might re-tweet you and help you get some more followers.

For one year I did go to Performing Arts School, and I had very weird friends.

I want to be remembered as a happy, humble person, and as someone who motivated others to never give up.

Because I get nervous all the time. It's weird but I think it's fun and it's refreshing. It's always good to be that way. That keeps me appreciative of everything.
