Could you start by telling us alittle about yourself?
Well, I am 15 years old, living it up in Southern California. Although I have had great oppurtunites in modeling and acting, my passion is definitely in music. I am currently in the process of making my first album and I will soon be touring the country.

I’m currently finishing up on my Demo (YAY, 1 more song to go!) Then I’m planning on working on an album to be released internationally.

Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera and Beyonce, of course
Who would you say your hero's are?
God is always my number one. My family have been there through the ups and downs. They have supported me since the beginning.
How did you get involved in singing?
I was born into a very musically inclined family. I used to love watching my dad and his brothers and sisters perform on stage in front of smiling people. I naturally just became passionate for music
Do you write your own songs also?
I write most of my own songs currently and most of my influences come from my own life experiences.
Do you enjoy writing, recording, or performing live better? Why?
I don't think there are too many things that can compare to performing to a live audience. It is such a rush to look out into a crowd that is actually connecting with you and your music. Love it!
What are some of your other hobbies besides singing?
Everything a normal 15 year old does. I hang out with the girls, shop, and eat...ALOT!
Do you have any upcoming tours?
At this point I don’t have a set schedule but i will be posting my appearances as soon as I get the word I look forward to it. I would like to reach as many people as possible and I believe that touring is one of the best ways to accomplish that
