Music is not just a part of my everday life, I’m surrounded by it every minute.

The kind of audience I’m speaking to is a very wide range of people.

Performing on stage is what I’ve done since I was a kid and it’s where the passion that has started from the very beginning for me, and that’s what I’m going to enjoy.

It’s always been a dream of mine to get somewhere and to have my mom and dad with me up there.

I’m going for something very raw and organic.

I’d rather have people really be able to step back and get their money’s worth and look at me as a true artist than somebody who is just regurgitating other material.

I definitely I prefer to sing in the car. I don’t sing in the shower, maybe its because that’s the one time I don’t need to talk to anyone so I should just shut up, otherwise I’m just, you know, jibber jabber.

If there’s a pool I love to hangout there and layout and get some sun. If I can ever find a second to get some sun, some Vitamin D, I will do so.

I love classic rock, rock and roll, that’s the top notch. I love soul – bluesy music as well.

First thing I did when I found out I made it into the top 13 is I tried not to faint and you know, I took it all in and I really looked at the crowd and said a big 'thank you'.
