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

When I left Michigan and I came to New York, that was my goal, to be a professional dancer. And I sort of fell into singing by accident in a way.

I really didn't intend to be a musician when I left Japan.

I was in a competing company and have been dancing since I was four - ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop - so it's a huge part of my life and my music.

I was a professional dancer before I was an actor.

I always wanted to perform in some capacity since I was a kid - I was a ballerina, then a singer before acting.

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