Mariah and Whitney Houston were my goddesses growing up.

Growing up, I was in all the musicals and everything... I'd come home from school and bash out a few Whitney Houston songs.

I like listening to old soul music. I like Sam Cooke. When I was growing up, the first things I was listening to was Whitney Houston and Cher. They were really big inspirations for me.

We definitely weren't poor growing up, but we weren't rich.

Growing up in Houston, the music scene is super boring.

Growing up, I was into 'Power Rangers.'
