More than anything, it's been a transition into embracing my destiny. I have everything around me to be able to do this properly. Whether or not I was hiding from that early on, I think now it's great to feel that way. It's just the journey.

The people that have inspired me the most were dancers and choreographers.

South Africa was something that just kind of hit me.

I was curious because I hadn't really known anyone to do just that, so I would stop in on his sessions with his rapper friends, and then one day, I told Astro Raw "I'm looking to sing. He told me to try it out and then we made 'Treat Me Like Fire' and everything started."

Once you train you develop your own aesthetic and your confidence. So, I think as I grow I'm learning how to be a singer. I'm training my voice and being on stage and singing and dancing.

We [in my family] don't like to mess around and talk about our problems or complain, it's just not anything that we do.

I think just being a '90s kid - I was not a Backstreet Boys girl, I was definitely into NSYNC.
