My demo was terrible, I sounded like a chipmunk. I was so young.

I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.

There's always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened.

I don't throw lavish parties or nothing like that - I just want a bed and a TV.

I don't like two stories. I like one story. I never grew up with stairs. I like to stick to what I know.

My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it's just kind of been like my habitat.
