A lot of people tell me, once they get to know me, that they're surprised that I'm nothing like they think I'll be.

Yeah, I have a tough-girl image.

People naturally change a lot during their 20s, so my songs reflect that progression.

Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know?

I am proud to be a normal size girl and I want to encourage everyone to be confident at any size.

I have my own little sense of style. As far as image goes today for a new artist, you'll find that fashion is really important. I wouldn't want to show up for a performance in something that is absolutely the opposite of who I am as an artist.

It takes strength to show vulnerability.
