I overcame a lot of obstacles in my life and in my childhood.

I think my life in general, like that of any human being, has highs and lows, has moments of great light and moments of great darkness.

'Growing Stronger' emerged from a need to relate my life experiences as well as my constant struggle to prevail each day, and as a reminder to myself of the importance of never giving up.

Music has always been a huge part of my life from a very young age, and today it remains a very powerful and natural way for me to connect with people, as well as my children.

I don't have a lot of regrets in my life.

I've dealt with a lot in my life.
