I just have to give credit when it's due because there are some things that took place in my life that I couldn't explain at all.

My husband is very supportive and is there for the kids, especially when I'm in projects such as The Color Purple.

I like to think about the quality, content, and concept for my music because I think these are the most important things and it just molds everything together.

When I was growing up, I grew up in church--my father was a pastor--so when I was growing up in Trinidad, I'd close all the windows in the church and go in the church every day after school and get a little microphone and pretend all these people were in the pews, and I would sing to them.

I have a great support system and I know how to prioritize everything. I strive to keep God in every aspect of my life so that's important, because some days, it requires you to have a great deal of strength. Then, my family is second and it's in that specific order. I look around and I see how everything falls into place once you know which comes first.

I just want to create amazing music that speaks and defines who I am. I want it to be based on my life and/or what I am going through at that specific time.
