I grew up seeing my parents perform and sing, and I just always wanted to be singing, too. Music has always been my deepest passion and what I felt most connected to.

I first started to sing when I started to talk. As soon as I could form words and sounds together, I was singing.

I want to be on stage and perform and win Grammys and help out my family in Bulgaria, because they are struggling, and my mom and dad, too.

My favorite singer is Lauryn Hill - all time, hands down. She was my biggest inspiration growing up.

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.

I always vaguely knew I wanted to perform, but I haven't got the greatest singing voice and my dancing isn't up to scratch. Acting was really the only alternative. My parents have been really supportive throughout.
