For a while I was a completely unknown artist with no fan base and no draw in the clubs. The only people that would give me a shot were the gay clubs. Gay clubs were so open to me coming in and trying things out.

I was a ballerina for a good 12 years. When I was 15 I had to stop. It wasn't a choice, it was an injury that prevented me from going forward in ballet unfortunately. Well, fortunately because I wouldn't be doing what I am doing now if that had not happened.

I definitely wouldn't be the performer I am today if the gay audience had not been so supportive of me as a complete unknown.

You cannot go wrong by learning classical music because it trains the ear.

You might get a "no" a hundred times but you might get "yes" one time. That one "yes" will take you on a new path!
