I always wanted to have my own album recorded and released before I graduated high school.

I wanted to make the album I always needed to make. I had to say the things I never could.

My first album is a lot of my personal experiences. I wanted people to relate to what I've been through.

My first album was full of ideas and attempts to go in all kinds of directions. I was young. I loved making music, but I didn't have a clear path. I also lacked in confidence.

I wanted to make a traditional record that had a lot of art and showed my vulnerable side and showed things I'm passionate about.

I'm very serious about what I write and who I allow to produce the music, because I want to make sure it's a true album, and not just something pushed out there to create hype and more fame for myself.

My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way.

When I started recording, I thought I'd be able to do all kinds of records: jazz, country, dance - and I've always wanted to do a gospel album.

Music is also a part of who I am so I'm thinking about recording an album.

I wanted to make an album that was hopeful and encouraging and inspiring. That was the goal.
