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.

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.

Have fun. Especially while you're still young, you gotta keep the spark up. Even when things get boring, just remember to have fun.

“I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing” is a hard song to perform, I was worried that I was not going to reach that significant note that is at the end of the song. Thank god, Steven loved it! He was the nicest and friendliest judge that I have met. He also invited me to chat with him whether I had free time on the Idol set.

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

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

I really want to show my supporters - -the direction I wish to go into, and my fans know that is what I want to do! They even have recommended songs for me to sing, I love my fans...they are awesome!
