Personal Quotes

I thank God because there are so many more talented people out there that will never even come close to getting a record deal.

When I was 2 my mom said she knew I was going to be a singer. I've been performing ever since I was a young kid. So I've known I wanted to do this for awhile. I always knew in my heart that I'd be singing.
I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think.
I can write a song a day.
