I don't like to have really any expectations for myself.

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

I have goals that I want to reach, but you can never plan what's going to happen next.

My music comes from my emotion, always.

There are so many good venues in Chicago.

Melodies are important. I always kind of pride myself on my melodies.

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.
