My goal in my career is to inspire people, is to get my music out there and have people enjoy it, and have people think of me as an inspirational artist.

Me being the metal fan that I am, I like to listen to thrash metal to get me pumped - that kind of music will get your heart racing and ready for a crowd.

Most of all, I like to sing my heart out to lyrics that really speak to people.

I want to be able to show people that I have flaws and they have flaws, too. And you know what that means? No one out there is perfect.

I used to make cassette tapes but never thought about making a career of it.

I've always loved music and was singing from the age of seven on karaoke.
