My mom was very strict when I was growing up. I could not talk to boys until I was 18. I had to study and work hard.

I'm proud of my roots. There are not many Asians in the music industry so it's important for me to tell people where I'm from.

I'm sporty, active, bubbly, I like to make people laugh... I'm the jokester. But I'm also very traditional.

I'm still a, you know, a silly girl... a big kid.

They cannot imagine what I'll sound like. But always when I'm done singing, people are very surprised.

I'm not a businessperson. I have no sense of money. My mom does everything for me. She makes all my decisions for me, and even buys my clothes. She's very protective.
