Even though it was a stressful time in my life, I have a lot of good memories from my Idol experience.

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.

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.

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.

Do not let anything get in your way of chasing your dreams.

The thing that I did not like about being signed to a label was I unable to have control over what I wanted to do.
