Canada had the good health-care system and educational system. It was a privilege for me to grow up there.

I love Canada, always.

I always feel like music should be a universal language.

I live out of my suitcase and I'm happy to do so.

Before I could even hold a pen I was singing.

I've admired Alicia Keys since before I got into the music industry, just everything she represents as a female artist.

Once I started performing I knew that's what I wanted to do with my life. But you have to work really hard to be a performer.
