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

Music has always been a huge part of my life.

I always make a wish at 11:11, even if its something cheesy.

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.”

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