I wanted to try something different. Most people my age go off to college; I thought I'd try out New York.

The fashion community has really embraced me, which has been helpful with getting my music out.

I've always made music - pretty much since I was born.

I'm a boots girl. I always wear boots. They only look better when they get dirty.

I feel like I didn't know who I was when I was 15. I don't feel like you're who you are for life, not even when you're 20.

You never know what's going to be considered a hit, or what people are going to like.

I started making music professionally when I was 14. I did songs on that program GarageBand, and then I'd put demos up on MySpace with my friends.
