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

Do not let anything get in your way of chasing your dreams.

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.

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.

I listen to music when I'm feeling down or just a certain way. I don't know what I'd do without it!

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.

Even though it was a stressful time in my life, I have a lot of good memories from my Idol experience.
