Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up on yourself.

I'm really excited about what the future holds and to grow as an individual and as an artist.

I always try to be nice. I never want to be that person that anyone perceives as being rude or disrespectful, 'cause that's not me at all.

My mom is my biggest inspiration by far. She inspires me on a daily basis. I remember hearing her sing around the house, and I was like, 'Mom, you belong on TV. You're a superstar.'

I would classify myself as an individual. That's what I try to stay true with - being myself, 100 percent.

I feel like baggy pants are cool.

For me, love is endless, and love has no age limit.

I was told I wasn't good enough, but I just chose not to listen.

When I started writing, I said, 'I don't know how to do this. I don't know if it sounds good.' Coming from being an underdog or being told that something wasn't for you over and over repeatedly, it took a lot out of me. It took a lot of my self-confidence.

I feel like we go through different stages of love. When you get a little bit older, love starts to feel different, but you see that love has always been there.

I suffer from anxiety, moments of depression. I'm in my head so much, and I'm thinking so much, I'm playing a tug-of-war within my mind.

Once you're comfortable with the way that you're dressing, you express yourself a lot more, and you're just able to have a lot more fun.

When I wanted to be a music teacher, I wanted to help people through voice. Now, I get to help people out through song.

My mom raised a self-aware kid. I wasn't like the typical alpha male. I wasn't afraid to sing, you know? I wasn't afraid to be in musicals.

I'd love to collaborate with Frank Ocean. He's one of my favorite artists of all time.

I was in the sixth grade and living in Germany, when I was hanging out late with some friends. I turned around, and there's a dude dressed up as Michael Myers following us all the way home. It was the scariest thing ever, and it always reminds me of Halloween. In my mind, I was so young, so I really thought it was Mike Myers following me home.

El Paso is where I started. I don't feel like I'd be making the music I'm making now if I hadn't gone there.

I can't play an instrument to save my life. But when I'm creating, and when I'm making music, I feel like I'm the head of the orchestra, and I'm just waving my wand, and something is created.

Love crosses all boundaries.

The thing about going back to El Paso, it's overwhelming sometimes. I look at the support that I get and the success that I've had, and I can't walk anywhere without being spotted. My hair might be the biggest crime in this situation.
