Quotes
My first crush was... would you believe The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was little!?
To all the fans out there I want you to just keep loving music. Keep the music live, keep rocking the free world, keep following your dreams and just keep living the life. Keep listening to music and supporting music because it's such a great thing. It helps people express themselves and any kids out there who have any aspirations of being a musician - go for it! You know, just work hard and love every second of it and make music because you love music.
I want to take people back to the feeling you get when you're having fun and listening to your favorite song on the radio and you have that brush in your hand and you're jumping around and having a good time.
I love catching people off guard. That's why opening for Britney was so great. I was playing for people who had no idea who I was and had never heard my music. And by the end of the set, a lot of them found themselves really getting into it.
I'm really in love with music - its never going to go away and I'm never going to lose that ability to make music and play guitar and sing and that's always going to be there for me.
"My role model... I grew up with a lot of cool music teachers... I look up to women like Madonna cuz of her business style and not just celebs. I like strong women who can change the world and inspire to change the world".
