I got beat up sometimes in the girls' bathroom.

I'm a California girl. I grew up in Inglewood right by LAX.

I did a lot of little girl groups here and there just to get more comfortable on stage. When you're in girl groups, it's a lot different because if you mess up, there's someone on stage to back you up, and finally I got to a point where I knew I could do it on my own.

Sometimes you do get caught up in the midst of becoming... a product, a brand, and not having a say in any of that.

Boyfriends? Psh, like I've got time for that!

I got discovered off of YouTube.
