Christina Grimmie

Hip-hop I never really got really into mainly just because I'm not a big fan of rap. I do like R&B artists like Beyonce. I'm a big fan of her mainly because of her vocals. They're just so awesome. I love her and Christina Aguilera, and that whole urban kind of feel is really great, especially with my voice. ”

I'd love to open for Bieber. It would be awesome; that would definitely be the crowd I would want to play to. ”

The Voice' gave me the exposure that YouTube was never able to provide for me, just because I didn't have a label or that kind of opportunity before. It also kind of trained me as person and performer with an audience. ”

Be stupid, be dumb, be funny, if that's who you are. Don't try to be someone that society wants you to be; that's stupid. So be yourself. ”

When I was little, I had this old video camera, and I set it up, and I would pretend that I was on comedy shows and soap operas and things like that. ”

Honestly, 'Side A' is supposed to be a project just from my heart and whatever is happening in my heart at the time, and I want 'Side B' to also fit that same thing. ”

I'm an independent. I've signed with no label. ”

Side A' was a project that I wanted to do, stuff that I produced completely, and it was just stuff that I was dealing with. ”

My new song 'Shrug' I created with two guys. The idea was a message about ignoring haters. People one-up you, stay true to yourself. ”

Confidence is not, 'They will like me'. Confidence instead is, 'I'll be fine if they don't'. ”
