16. What is the best advice you an give to a student who wants to study music professionally -1. Believe that you are the greatest star. 2. Don't pay attention to anyone who tries to put you down it is them with the inseurities whether they choose they want to deal with it or not be who you are born to be and embrace it. 3. There is always people who are out there for you to fall flat on your face be careful who you trust. 4. Don't make enemies as artists we are all different experiences embrace those differences. God has given you a gift so treat others who weren't blessed with the gift of music and use your talents, knowledge, and skills for good and not to be so cocky. In music school sometimes it feels it'll take forever to get it just take one day at a time. In time in your career a lot of it will come to you of what your professors have been preaching to you in the classrooms and music studios and most of all live your life keep on learning as much as you can don't think you reach a certain age or gotten your degree to think that you have to turn your learning caps off and not ever keep learning of what each person that enters your life for the good to take as a lesson to perfecting your craft.

 

17. Do you want to be an inspiration to people ? - I would love to inspire people I meet and listen to me and enjoy to put a smile on a person's face or get them out of a rut just by listening. Music has the power of expressing true emotion whatever your feelings are music is the universal language to whatever mood your in. Music is also an escape from the real world into your own pure imagination of the possibilities of what you want to be. I would love to have that power of positive effect on people to hold and treasure and to also be unforgettable.

 

18. Are you a music snob ? - guilty as charged i just love drop dead gorgeous voices like Judy Garland, Luciano Pavarotti, Cecilia Bartoli, Renee Fleming, Jonas Kaufmann, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Audra Mcdonald, Harry Connick, Jr, Josh Groban and Michael Buble to name a few I love listening to these voices which my voice is profound by these singers.

 

19. Who is your most positive influences in your life that makes you such a positive person today ? - When I was growing up I was quirky still quirky didn't have any friends and kept to myself. Love to draw loved day dreaming and going to my happy place of what my life would be like. It wasn't until junior high almost going into high school I have met the person to change my life for the better it was a music teacher going to retire the year of 1999. She was the kind of inspiration to encourage me to think I was special and that I deserved better. To see the world in a more positive way to helping me change my perspective on life to live a blissful life doing what I do best and living each day the way I was born to do as my true destiny. 

 

20. What is your biggest fear in life and why ? - I would have to say my most biggest fear in my life is not living up to my full potential wasting away my gifts and talents skills, and education to living up to other people's expectations. Not being my own person to decide what I truly want. Not taking any chances I would rather spend a life with full of mistakes than not have done nothing.
