Music has been my everything since day one. It's been my shoulder to cry on, my rock and my best friend.

I took time off from school and traveled to Italy when I was 19, living with my extended family members. I must have slept in 30 different houses those months, taken in by people who'd never even met me.

I'm a total protein shake junkie nerd. I get creative every morning - you never know what you're gonna get in my shake... fruit? Peanut butter? Ice-cream?

Everything around me inspires and influences me. Mainly love - falling in it, losing it, loving it and hating it.
