There were two main points I wanted to get across in Valentine, the first being that yes, Valentine's Day is an arbitrary day, but why would you not take that excuse to celebrate love? The second point. . .since it is just an arbitrary day. . .why not treat every day like Valentine's Day?

In college, I faced an interesting problem. I wanted to play music all the time and yet I wasn't ready for anyone to hear it. To remedy this, I took to retreating to stairwells as a safe place to sing and write music. It was there that I wrote most of my songs in college and really grew into an artist.

Not only am I putting music out there, I'm giving part of myself away.

My two sisters and I sang all the time. Whenever we cleaned the kitchen, we sang in three-part harmony.

Since I don't feel like I belong solely to any one of them I find that it makes me even more interested and open to other cultures as well. It's also fun looking ethnically ambiguous because no one can quite put a finger on what I am and it's very entertaining to me!

I'm really into good nutrition and keeping healthy! That said, I'm also addicted to candy - It's my biggest weakness.

I get to travel around the world and meet all of these amazing people, and they're singing my songs! And to me, that's crazy.
