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

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.

I was 16-years-old when I appeared on 'American Idol,' and the show was my boot camp. It was a crazy, stressful at times, experience.

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

“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.

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