I was the lead in two musicals, and I took dance classes.

You've got to be fine with who you are.

I've been singing my whole life and I've always wanted to be able to pursue a music career.

Kids look up to me, and it's really incredible to be in that position.

I love competition and really going for it and doing my best, but losing isn't really upsetting to me. I feel like if I do lose, the other person really deserved it.

I really wanted to make something that was exciting for everybody, that everybody could enjoy, that was upbeat and positive and that everybody can dance to.

I love things that are very broad. I love alternative, rock, hip hop, rap, and I'll go to classical or jazz.
