I turned to music originally because of my past and needing a release or an outlet to get out anger or frustration or hurt.
Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.
In order to effect great change, we need to look at how we can help those in our own communities as well as globally.
My parent's divorce and hard times at school, all those things combined to mold me, to make me grow up quicker. And it gave me the drive to pursue my dreams that I wouldn't necessarily have had otherwise.
To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms.
I'm not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.
I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.
I love doing normal things - movies, shopping, going out with friends, writing, reading, taking hot bubble baths - that's a big one for relaxation. I also love to go to art and history museums.

Thankfully, I have my mom and a small group of close friends who are there for me 24/7 and whom I can trust and depend on.
I remember watching the Grammys and looking at the performances and crying to my mom, saying how much I wanted to be there.

My body can't put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore - my body is just not on the table that way anymore.
