My parents have basically just taught me the rules of the stage and everything since I was eight.
I love classic rock, rock and roll, that's the top notch. I love soul - bluesy music as well.
Music is not just a part of my everday life, I'm surrounded by it every minute.
The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.
Music continues to remind me that its boundaries are limitless.
First thing I did when I found out I made it into the top 13 is I tried not to faint and you know, I took it all in and I really looked at the crowd and said a big 'thank you'.
