I really idolize everything my sisters do,so I went into singing contests and won also. That's how I really got into singing.

When I work, I work. I don't think about anything else. I just wanna get the work done. And I'm a perfectionist.

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.

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

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

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

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.
