The weight loss has been a secondary change to the mental changes I have made. Weight loss does not fix problems; how you view yourself does.

I am only capable of what I allow myself to believe I can do.

I would like to release an album that I truly believe in, thus it is hard to put a time limit on it. I want to really go deeper and discover myself again through music.

I started to realize that everyone goes through those doubts, and I need to try and be the best version of me I can - not only for myself but everyone around me.

There is an energy in New York that is like nowhere else I've been, and I feel free there, and that is inspiring.

A lot of my friends are musicians or artists, and their talent always pushes me to think creatively.

Sometimes, as a young artist, I was looking for validation to know I was good enough, and that's what the initial audition gave me. It made me feel like I was doing something right, even if it is a scary or unstable path.
