I didn't want to call and schedule shows or call and make people listen to my music. Luckily, my friends and family really stayed on me and made me put myself out there.

I love 'Breathe' with Taylor (Swift) but I've been performing 'Lucky' with Jason (MRaz) all over the world in the past year so I'm glad that's what won.

I pay attention to how I look but I don't let it go too far.

And when I perform on my own tour, I have to talk myself into going out on that stage every single night.

Creating music fulfills me. It gives me purpose. It connects me with the world.

Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I've been singing since I was eleven.

I was always shy and had a huge fear of being onstage.
