ONE - FIRST OFF, WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? TELL ME ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD.

"Um, I grew up in New York City, so you could imagine how much of a transition LA is for me. I grew up in a very, how do I say it? Lonely home? I don’t know how to put it into words really, but my parents always worked a lot, so I was home alone often. But I never minded it, I’m comfortable with my own company and I knew that they were working hard so I wouldn’t have to miss out on anything.”  TWO — DID YOU ALWAYS KNOW THAT BEING IN THE INDUSTRY WAS SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO DO?

“I don’t know if being in the industry was something I wanted or even really thought about. I knew, since I was very little that singing is what I wanted to do, that I knew for sure. I always wanted people to read my diary but through my music.” THREE —- WAS YOUR FAMILY SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR DECISION TO JOIN THE PROVE MANAGEMENT AND COME TO THE HOUSE?

“Yeah! Well, my mom was more supportive than my dad. My mom is a fashion designer so she knows what it’s like to turn a big dream into a reality, while my dad is a little more old school and he believes I should be in college getting some sort of degree in something. But overall he’s very supportive and very proud.”  FOUR — HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT HAVING TO SHARE A HOUSE? DO YOU GET ALONG WITH THE OTHER RESIDENTS?

“I love the fact that we’re all musicians, there is something very inspiring about that. I’m not really the one to get into any conflicts, I know when and when not to be around someone, so I think I’m doing good so far.”  FIVE — WHO WERE YOUR INSPIRATIONS AS A KID? WHO ARE YOUR INSPIRATIONS NOW?

“Well, in life my inspiration has always been my parents, they always pushed me to give 100% towards anything I do and they’re just very humble people and they’ve taught me a lot. If we’re talking music wise, I’d say Jhene Aiko is one of those people that inspire a lot, she just has away with lyrics and it’s just incredible the way her mind works.”  SIX — WHAT IS ONE THING THAT NO ONE IN THE HOUSE KNOWS ABOUT YOU? THAT WOULD PROBABLY NEVER WANT THEM TO KNOW?

“Oh, wow, umm, well let’s see, I guess the fact that I come from a wealthy family is something I don’t really want people knowing. I mean if they find out it’s whatever, but I don’t want anyone thinking I bought my way into the industry, I want them to know that I work as hard as they all do.”  SEVEN — IF YOU WEREN’T PURSUING THE FAME PATH, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’D BE DOING RIGHT NOW? 

“I think if I wasn’t trying to make a name for myself, I’d probably still be in the industry in some form, I’d probably write songs for artists or something. I’d probably be vlogging and posting covers on youtube.”  EIGHT — IF THIS DOESN’T WORK OUT FOR YOU, WHAT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF DECIDING TO DO?

“I don’t see myself doing anything else, I really don’t. I feel like I can just see everything so clearly now, I know what I have to do and what path I have to take. My head is always revolving around my music, so doing something else is just not in the picture for me.” NINE — IF YOU COULD ONLY PICK ONE, JUST ONE, RICH OR FAME, WHICH WOULD YOU PICK?

“Can I say neither? I mean I don’t really want money or fame to be completely honest. I mean it probably sounds like a bullshit answer but I’m being honest, all I want is for people to hear my music and whatever perks come with it is just icing on the cake.” TEN — LAST BUT NOT LEAST, DO YOU SEE ANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT ALSO HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SAME CHANCE AS YOU AS COMPITETION?
