Beauty has so many forms, and I think the most beautiful thing is confidence and loving yourself.

You cannot go wrong by learning classical music because it trains the ear.

I feel like, when you turn on the radio and you hear a great song, you know it's a great song, and you sing along. We all know what a great song sounds like, so we all have that instinct, it's just being able to accept your own instincts when you write that song.

It wasn't until I wrote 'Hideaway' that I found the song I related to as an artist.

I was in a rock band; I was my own folk singer; I was in a death metal band for a very short time; I was in a cover band, a jazz band, a blues band. I was in a gospel choir.

I tend to obsess over my passions.
