The best part of being signed by a major label was having the support of a big company behind me and the ability to meet new artists and producers.

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

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.

Music has always been a huge part of my life.

When you are in the American Idol bubble, a lot of contestants want to go as far as they can and wish to be on point with ready-to-go songs.

I think that I have grown a lot as an artist. I have been writing about my experiences of love and overcoming the struggles that I have faced in the music industry. I have so much more to tell my fans, and I know so much more about myself. It is crazy how much I have grown over these past years.
