You decide the things that ultimately you do. You have choices in this world, and that's how I live.

My #1 goal is to become a successful singer and share my gift with the world.

My life has been a blessing. I'm grateful for everything I do have and the places I'm going and the things I've seen.

Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.

I am really into color and bright clothing. When I'm wearing heels, I always like to throw some different colors into my outfit, so it doesn't match. That gives my look a retro and funky feel.

I love Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Brandi, Sade, Nat King Cole. I like the Beatles. I listen to a lot of that.
