My folks have played everything from rock, disco, pop, funk, and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz, classical, and Latin. With all this in my pocket, I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences.

The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.

If my life had to be a song I would name it, 'Live every day like its your best day ever', because it pretty much is.

I'm going for something very raw and organic.

I definitely I prefer to sing in the car. I don't sing in the shower, maybe its because that's the one time I don't need to talk to anyone so I should just shut up, otherwise I'm just, you know, jibber jabber.

My parents have basically just taught me the rules of the stage and everything since I was eight.

It's always been a dream of mine to get somewhere and to have my mom and dad with me up there.
