I like blue a lot, and greens. Earthy blues and greens.

This is America - you're allowed to say and do what you want and what you say and do defines who you are as a person.

I know who I am as an artist. I've always known who I am as an artist.

My music comes from my emotion, always.

I love knowing that people are connecting to my lyrics, my music and me.

I overthink a lot of things.

I like that I stand for something like American Idol which helps musicians and artists get out there. It's important to have shows like Idol because it's so hard to get into the music industry nowadays - nearly impossible.
