-Who would you say has most inspired you?-

“Musically, Katy Perry. She is great at what she does, and loves what she does, she’s made her success her own way, and isn’t afraid to be completely different than a lot of other female musicians in the music business.
In general, I would say my Dad, because even though music isn’t his career, he’s been playing in bands for 25+ years and is always my number one supporter, because he wants me to succeed in doing 3what we both love.”

-How would you describe yourself to someone who does not know you?-

“I”m fearless, determined and outspoken. I’m sarcastic, and quirky, and rarely have a filter on my thoughts. I never let anything get in the way of my success, I know what I want in life and I’m not willing to let anything interfere with that. I know who I am, and I accept who I am, I never change myself to impress anyone.”
