I lived in Houston until I was 11 and then I moved to College Station, Texas. So I spent most of my years that were developmental as far as becoming an adult in College Station. It’s near Texas A & M University, so it’s a college town. My grandfather was mayor back I think, in the early 8os before I was around. And he was actually dean of students at Texas A & M for like 15 years or 12 years or something crazy like that. And then when I lived in town, my grandparents they raised me for like half of my life. So I got to live with them from 8th grade on.

I was a cheerleader and I played tennis and basketball when I was in junior high. And it’s just a pretty cool place. It can be a little boring because it’s small, but that’s okay. I’d rather have a place to go home to that can be a little boring than a place that I can go home to that’s hectic.

I would have to say the biggest moment that shaped me into who I am today was picking up all my stuff in Texas and moving to L.A. I wanted to sing at a competition out here in L.A. when I came for a week and signed with my agent and they said we want you to move to L.A. to pursue a career if that’s what you want to do. And so I did. The summer after my junior year of high school I moved out here.
