“Ive never been one to thrive in structural education settings. I decided college was not the best fit for me when I was 18.”

“I'm in love and publicly obsessed with Jenn Colella. The reason I do everything is Jenn. I took a master class with her when I was super young. I will never forget when she walked into the room. She is amazing.”

“Probably my worst habit is, when I get really stressed out, down to the wire, and Im trying to find clothes or find something, literally anything, I throw everything everywhere, and I dont pick it up because Im in that anxious space, still.”

“My music career is why I moved to New York in the first place.”

“To be honest, Im a really bad Gen Zer, because I didnt get Netflix or any streaming services until the pandemic. I was always a die hard cable person.”

“I grew up playing a lot of sports and doing musical theater.”

“I really only drink water and coffee. Im not really a big juice person.”

“I always liked art and music and it was what I wanted to do.”

“I love pop R&B. Thats my first love. Ive been singing since I was in diapers, and I used to host shows for my family and I would get on the coffee table and ask everybody to be quiet and I would sing.”

“I become a very different person when Im writing music. I have zero anxiety when Im doing it.”

“I get to wear black leggings, which is my entire wardrobe. Its the most like me; I love an all-black style.”

“The biggest difference between the two is how intimate the theatre is. Film is so different because, when youre on set, even if a joke lands, no one is going to laugh, because nobody wants to mess up a take.”

“I love Eva Noblezada; we went to the same high school.”

“I am big into astrology. My best friend in the whole wide world, Justin, got me hooked on astrology, when I was in high school. I am a Capricorn, but Im a Gemini rising and a Pisces moon.”

“I only know one way to sing, and thats me. I cant morph who I am as an artist into two different fields; I can just be who I am at all times.”

“Im from North Carolina and I know now that I found the North Carolina in L.A. because I live in sleepy little Burbank, which is amazing, but also sometimes I never leave my house.”

“I always loved comedy growing up, I didnt watch a lot of drama.”

“I always thought that my dad is hilarious, but Ive learned as Ive gotten older that hes actually not funny. Hes just a very intense person with very dry humor.”

“My friends are always dogging me because I love snacks. Im a big snack person.”

“I dont think anyone is going to toss me into a classical show.”
