I love hearing strong, confident beats in music because I love to dance. At the same time, melody is really important to me because I love singing.

When I was little - like in preschool - I was very shy, but whenever I went on stage I just exploded. Ever since then I knew that this was what I wanted to do. Music has always been a part of me, music is my passion.

I've always been an all around creative person. Song writing and writing are great ways for me to express myself.

For me my passion is music. I just can't let it go!

I get my inspiration from everyday life, things people my age are going through in life, good and bad experiences.

There are so many different musicians I look up to for different reasons - from hip-hop to rock to pop. Some are Alanis Morissette, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, Pink, Avril Lavigne, Beyoncé, Lil Wayne.

I approach song writing three different ways. One way is where I write the initial melody and lyrics first and then take it in to the producer to collaborate. Another way is where the producer sends me his initial musical track ideas and then I write the lyrics and melody over his track. The third way is where we just jam out in the studio and see what we come up with.
