I started salsa dancing with a few different companies and started touring the country. It was fantastic, but I realized that I really wanted to talk every time we were performing. That's a problem because when you're dancing, if you stop to talk, that's not really cool to the other dancers.

I grew up next to the ocean, on the coast, and would dance the salsa all day, so I just learned those rhythms and knew how to move my body when I was very little.

I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So performing was always part of what I was.

I was a dancer for about 20 years. It didn't really help me transition into music.

I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So, performing was always part of what I was. I don't know if it I enjoyed the response I got from people or if I liked having an audience, but there's something in me that wanted to perform.

I've always known that I wanted to sing, and I wanted to dance, and I wanted to act.

I had wanted to be a dancer when I was younger. But at some point I figured out I was a better singer.

I was a dancer first, which made me realize how much I loved performing.

I danced for a while, and I knew I could sing, so I just began singing in a praise band at church and doing musical theater and jazz vocal performance in school. One didn't really lead to another; I was just always interested in the performance arts.
