I came from a very musical family, so I grew up singing karaoke with the family. My family said 'do this' and brought me to singing lessons. I had always been writing poems and songs.

I started classical and operatic lessons when I was 8 and become an operatic singer and went to competition. I write my own music. A lot of the songs, growing up, I was into writing dark stories and poems, and one day I started putting melodies to them.

Dad said that he was prouder of me than he'd ever been when I came out.

I came out singing, the doctor slapped me on the head, and I started singing.

I came up in a family oriented towards the sick, so I always felt an obligation for doing something.

My dad probably gave me the best advice growing up. I think it's really just keeping your cool in situations and learning to balance everything.
