I have a bachelor's and a master's in jazz.

I'm a big believer in education, period.

I grew up speaking both languages, and for me that's really important.

This record has a lot of influences that I'd love to cover, like Marvin Gaye and Earth, Wind and Fire. Maybe I'll do some covers of my major influences during my live show.

And my career, the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.

For me, there's still a lot of room to grow; I'm just happy that I have so much more to give.

I grew up in a community that was bilingual. I've done it for a while, singing in both languages.
