“Music is a big part of my life. I listen to different genres, and I choose the music that will inspire the next part of my story.”

I like clean-cut, very proper, very elegant looks.

My family was absolutely supportive. I did have a fear of cold reads because of my dyslexia, but my family’s support and reading classes really helped me overcome my fear!

My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.

I don’t think people realize how much work it takes to make an album.

I always finish off my look with a spritz of Vera Wang Pink Princess.

I like “As Long As You Love Me” and “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber. It gets you moving – you just can’t help it! And “Teach Me How to Dougie” gets Zendaya and I every time.

Partying at a club is very different than when I’m throwing a party at my house. My party’s a rage. People rage when they come to my house.

Start going to bed earlier! It is a tough adjustment when you have had a summer of staying up late and waking up late.

I’m always on Instagram! I’m like an Instagram stalker.

My makeup artist, Tonya Brewer, taught me the importance of moisturizing daily. Hydration is a must if you want pretty, dewy skin – which I love.

I’m a relationship girl, I like relationships, so I just miss being in one and chilling. And not dating.

Maria Canals-Barrera is Cuban and from Miami and I’m part Cuban and from Miami, so needless to say she became a quick friend.

I personally don’t think you can love two things like dancing and singing the same exact amount. There is always one that you like more, and that is most likely the one that you’re better at, because you try harder in it.

I love Michael Kors! I also love Miu Miu shoes – they’re fabulous, I have so many pairs.

I love pointy nails! A cute way to add a pop of color to your nails is to make a V-shape at the ends of them in a pastel color.

I feel like girls always deserve flowers; it’s just a nice thing to do. If you want to make your girlfriend smile, send her flowers!

You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.

An America that inspires hope in its ideals must complement an America that inspires awe in its strength.

I’m inspired by the work of those (and sometimes even the people themselves) who strive to inspire.

And there’s nothing like the feeling of perfection that will inspire repeated behavior.

If I were a devout Mormon, I would be offended by a lot of things that go on in “The Book Of Mormon,” right?

I love the Bible. I read it every day. I spend 10 hours a week studying it. It has affected my life in profound ways. I am inspired when I read it.

Lyrically I write based on my past experiences or things I wish to experience. Pain inspires me as does joy.

You live it forward, but understand it backward.
