As soon as I could speak, I was singing. Before I could even speak full words, I would make up ones to sing and I have it on tape, too.

I took lessons for about everything you could imagine - gymnastics to karate to flute and piano. My mom always definitely kept me in some kind of class or program, but for guitar, I kinda gave up on then kinda just taught myself. Same thing with piano. I've never been good with following lessons.

It was not cool to be that fun, bubbly kid, so I would just go off on my own and sing and make up songs, and that's how I think I developed into the kind of artist and writer that I am.

As a young girl, I remember singing CeCe Penniston's 'Don't Walk Away.' It was like my jam.

I'm an around-the-way girl. I'm a singer, songwriter. I'm about positivity and spreading a good message and telling the people's story.

One of my dream collaborations is to work with Sade. I would love to work with Andre 3000, Miguel.
