There is an assumption that if you're young and pretty, you will get all these opportunities that are way beyond your musical foundation.

It's weird sometimes to have people not see me or see what I do.

I fear that I won't get better and that I won't have time to practice. To be called a "jazz musician" - it's a big responsibility.

Jazz has always been a melting pot of influences and I plan to incorporate them all.

Jazz music just resonates with the frequency of me.
