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

Depth on different levels is so important to me. You look at a band like The Beatles, all their material has so much depth to it. And I want people to be able to run away with my melodies and get lost in them and take the lyrics and be able to relate to them.

Performing on stage is what I've done since I was a kid and it's where the passion that has started from the very beginning for me, and that's what I'm going to enjoy.

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

If I were to categorize what I sing, I have many different influences, and a lot of them are from back in time.

My parents have been with me every step of the way.

Music continues to remind me that its boundaries are limitless.
