What is the biggest risk you have taken?

The biggest risk I've taken was stopping my education to pack up my life to move to Japan for a few months to pursue my music career. It was scary and lonely at times, but I'm glad I did it. I learned so much about not only the industry, but about myself. I grew so much and made bonds with people that can never be broken after going through something so life changing. After all that, it didn't work out the way I wanted, but it was still an experience I'll never forget.

What inspired you to write "Euphoria"?

"Euphoria" was inspired by a feeling I wish I had. At the time, I was single but had been going in and out of bad relationships or ones that just didn't work out. So I began writing about the kind of relationship I wanted to be in. I sat with my producer and wrote in literally an hour. We recorded it right away and I still smile everytime I hear it.

biggest crush in your life?

crush as in someone i like? or crush as in a disappointment in my life?

ok i'll answer both. lol.

biggest crush in my life would probably have to be justin timberlake. more so when i was younger and a huge NSYNC fan, but he's talented, funny and a good person. that's hot.

biggest disappointment in my life: don't have one. i've grown to realize everything in life happens for a reason. if it didn't work out, it's cause it wasn't meant to be.

Advice for a struggling musician trying to get his band/name out there?

i have a few:

1) work hard. practice and be confident in knowing your act has really got it together. and keep practicing because you can always get better.

2) don't take things too personal. whether it comes to auditions, comments or anything music related. sometimes, you're just not what they're looking for or your music may not be for everyone. don't take it personal. just move on to the next opportunity. you'll get a million NOs, but all it takes is ONE yes.

3) write down why you're doing music in the first place and put it up on a wall. if you're a group, do it all together. that way if you're having a hard day or you guys start fighting, you can look at the wall as a reminder that nothing can stop you from your dreams'.

4) lastly, network. this business is all about who you know.

i could give you more, but i'd be here forever. so i hope those few helped. good luck!
