I was obsessed with Chubby Checker and old dances, like the twist.

I personally love to run outdoor fitness trails. I love the meditative value I get when out alone, challenging myself to run faster and higher.

I dance but I also work out. I run, do strength training... you name it. I've got to!

For me, a dancer is part of an artist’s entertainment - “backup dancer” isn’t even in my vocabulary.

The only thing that I have is the truth, so the only thing I fear is a lie.

People were being so mean as a result of my ability - a gift, really. So I think that's what makes me fight harder to provide an option to aspiring kids or artists. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through... to see a little girl or a little dancer experience such unnecessary rejection.

Back in the early days like for the Temptations, Supremes and Four Tops, artist development was alive in record companies. Every artist had a moment to develop the record visually. When the web took over and camera phones, it stripped the artists of the power to figure it out. So there's a need to bridge that gap and that's my job.
