When I found out that I was going to be singing with Jennifer Holliday, I literally freaked out! I grew up listening to her, and I was going to cry because I sang with someone who is a huge inspiration to me.

Music has always been a huge part of my life.

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.

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.

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.

My friends are mostly familiar with music that plays on the mainstream radio.

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.
