I quit piano and violin because it felt too rigid. It was just my thing, something I fell in love with from a very early age.

It was like I couldn't even begin to tell my mom I was singing. I didn't want anyone to think that she was trying to get me to sing. I wanted to prove to myself I could do it on my own. I really wanted to do a completely different thing.

Of course, I'm a dancer. Dancing grabbed me from the start and I have was never afraid to do it. With out dance I wouldn't be singing. I want to expose people to the underground dance scene through music.

Back then, it's weird, because I wasn't consciously thinking about it and I think that's why the doors opened and I had the opportunity.
