My mum and my dad they both like to sing they have really nice voices and my sister and my brother actually they are good singers too. I've been really blessed actually more than most to have a really good people around me.

When I was younger I felt lonely... In terms of my thought processes. I had the constant feeling that I thought differently to everyone around me. So, I suppose I felt lonely for a home. I didn't know where I wanted to be, but I knew I wasn't there yet.

Having a simple career as a musician who liked music was good enough for me.

My dancing is Hawaiian-inspired but I also get a little fresh when it comes to my faster songs.

I'm always just surprised when someone writes something about me.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger is so not true. You know what makes you stronger? When people treat you & your art with dignity.

The act of surrendering sort of puts me in a different mindset that allows me to be more of a channel - because I'm not holding on so tightly to things, I'm letting go, and I find that in letting go I become more of a channel for life to really happen on life's terms. I mean, maybe that sounds sort of metaphysical, but that's honestly how I feel.
