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

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.

A lot of people who wanted to audition for Idol have asked me: “What should I do?” or “How to I prepare myself?” I always told them: “Just go in and believe in yourself.”

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

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 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!

I want to release music that is true to myself.
