I hope that my journey inspires kids from all around the world to pursue their passions and work hard for their dreams. ”

I'm always good mates with everyone and stay on the good side of people. I never let any bad blood between anyone. ”

I like to do romantic things in New York. I have a bunch of restaurants that I love to go to and things like that. ”

Swimming is definitely a big passion that I have, but I was a champion for the butterfly and the free style and stuff. It was a hard decision if I wanted to move to the U.S. to get into music, but I was grateful that I had two choices and many things to do. ”

I've grown up listening to Jack Johnson and John Mayer. But I also love to groove on stage like Justin Timberlake. ”

I get to travel so much. I get to see so many different parts of the world. I get to meet new people every day. I experience new cultures, meet new fans from different countries. I get to perform for them, too. ”

I want to do everything I can in my own life to protect and preserve the ocean. ”

I like to write about lots of things in real life that people can relate to, that people can I guess connect with and the fans could understand what I'm talking about. ”

I write about everything that happens in my life, whether or not the songs actually are released or not. ”

I have a fresh start, now that I've turned 18, which feels like such a symbolic age of independence and hopefully a new phase of my life. ”
