What is your average day like?
weekdays are usually waking up to emails, bookings and answering fans on my sites when i can. then i either have school or my internship, or head to a meeting, or to the studio to record, or to rehearse for a show... or i just stay home and write songs or record videos. i may do all of those in one day too. haha. then i get home pretty late, unwind, check emails again, read some blogs, then usually fall asleep to whatever show i'm into at the moment. haha
on weekends, i'm usually doing shows. i travel all weekend if its an out of town gig, and i hang out with whoever brought me out to that city and we just have a good time exploring the town after my show. if i'm in the bay area, i usually perform, promote my upcoming album and then hit up whatever afterparty there is for the performance or just chill with the other acts afterwards. sundays, i like to take it easy and hang with my family and loved ones. i usually go out to eat after church and watch a movie.
my days get pretty hectic, but i love what i do and i love meeting new people and fans. i really don't have much time to leisurely hang out with friends and family, which is why i grow so close to the people i work with and other artists. but it's just a temporary sacrifice until i get to where i want to be in life. :)
do you believe that you are in control of your own destiny? OR do you believe that fate, is the deciding factor if what goes on in life? [ does that make sense? lmk. ]
i think everyone is destined for something. but it's up to us to take the right roads to get there. if you derail, then obviously your destiny is further and further away. i think the only certain thing is when you come and go in this world, but everything else in the middle, is up to you.
If you had to choose between your career or boyfriend what would you choose and why?
well, i'd like to think this would never be a situation for me. because i'd be completely honest with whoever i'd chose to have a relationship with from the START. my music is my life and i have many goals i want to accomplish before ever settling down. i would never make him chose between me and his career and i'd want him to chase after his dreams as well... so we'd always just work through it. if your boyfriend or girlfriend is making you choose between your school/career and them, then DUMP THEM QUICK! cause if someone really loves you and wants you to be happy, they'd take the extra mile to make it work- even if it'll be inconvenient... because at the end of the day, they can't see themselves with anyone but you. <3
What would you say to someone who doesn't really have anything going on for them in their life? They are really looking for something to hold on to, to wake up for every morning?
first i'd say pray. to whatever religion they believe in. then i'd say "let it go". cause they're usually holding on to something negative that happened to them or blaming themselves for the position they're in. once they learn to let go and restart their lives, they'll learn to be happy again. that translates into how they act and treat other people, in turn, creating more opportunities for themselves in life. everyone is going to go through a time in their life when they feel NOTHING is going well for them, but it's a shaping of character to get through those tough times and makes the "great times" in our life that much sweeter. <3
How do you have such a flat tummy?
i don't really. i just know how to pose for pictures. lol. i looooove to eat. but when i really do have to tone up, 40-50 sit ups a day does the trick. i eat whatever i want, but the minute i feel full, i stop. NO SECONDS, and DON'T FINISH THE WHOLE PLATE IF YOU'RE ALREADY FULL. save the rest for later. that is a good way to watch your weight without going on a crazy diet.
Will your new Album be in stores? Or just on Itunes?
my album will release digitally on June 29th on iTunes and Amazon.com. physically copies will follow a week after. you can order on my website and select stores. i'll release the stores as soon as everything is in place. :)
