I was in choir in school. I kind of just did it. I already knew I wanted to sing. My music program in my school wasn't really great - people didn't really want to be part of the choir, they didn't want to do the plays and stuff like that. It definitely wasn't the cool thing to do.

Growing up in New York has influenced my style so much, and I have an amazing relationship with my stylist, Estee Stanley. We have so much fun with the whole process. She picks out dresses, I try things on and play dress up, and we get creative to see what works.

But people are going to say what they want to say. I know who I am, and I'm not perfect.

I love myself, the way I look, my body, but sometimes I can't help but feel insecure.

I'm honored to be in a position to have young girls or performers look up to me.

You should make your diet one that best fits you and how you feel. Listen to your body. The most important thing is to exercise, drink lots of water, and take really good care of yourself.

Trust me, sunscreen is so, so, so important and so I always wear sunscreen, but I still get really tan.
