Music has always been a huge part of my life.

I listen to music when I'm feeling down or just a certain way. I don't know what I'd do without it!

I love artists that just do what they do with so much passion and emotion.

When I found out that I made it to the Season 11 finale, I was so shocked that if you went on YouTube and re-watch the Top 3 Results Show, you will see my face looked like a bus hit it.

My experience working with a major label was not all bad, I was blessed to go through that experience, and I know what to do during the next time around.

I was born in America, but I consider myself a Filipino.

I was 16-years-old when I appeared on 'American Idol,' and the show was my boot camp. It was a crazy, stressful at times, experience.
