My aunt is the director of the acapella group Black Voices. I was so struck by them as a child. They sang with such passion and conviction.

I have a younger brother and sister who actually play in my band, and we were always into Disney music, big time. The first time I heard myself sing was when I recorded myself singing a Disney song.

You know what, I'm very interested in acting, but right now I'm busy promoting my album and going on tour because that's my first love, but I'm very interested in doing some parts that may come my way.

I haven't been offered a part that truly inspires me to take time off, though.
