What was your most embarrassing moment?
I was flown out to Honduras to perform for a charity event dinner, and the night I was supposed to sing I lost my voice. In the middle of the song my voice was gone and my mom came up to finish the song for me.

Anything about yourself that you would change?
I wouldn’t change anything. Even the minor things or problems are what influence who I am.

What would people be most surprised to find out about you?
I’m half-Honduran, and got to go to Honduras a few years ago with my family and see my mom’s side of the family. I also sang at Carnaval there, a parade like Mardi Gras. It’s also where my most embarrassing moment was.

Do you have a good luck charm?
Not really. My friend gave me a rubber band to remind me that my friends have my back.

What do you do for fun?
You know, I like to smile a lot, like to hang out with my friends and you know, just like to do the normal things teenagers do, you know. I am normal, believe it or not, well I guess I have to second guess that. I guess I am pretty weird, but I am a teenager. I like to do the normal, every day things
