Growing up, I'd never heard of any female producers or songwriters. I didn't know you could be a girl and produce, which is terrible.

You really notice how you're growing when you go on tour. To be able to tour around the world, and do bigger venues every year, is really, really cool.

Sometimes you might feel like you're not good enough or unique enough, but everyone is! Everyone has different personalities.

I went to a soccer high school, and it was really different to being on 'Idol.' So I decided to quit school, and I put all my energy into music, and things started to happen.
