She says: “My parents are huge fans of music so they would always play music when I was growing up and I instantly gravitated to it.” This multi-talented performer also taught herself how to dance. “I’m a huge fan of Michael Jackson and The Backstreet Boys so when I’d get home from school I’d study their dance moves in their videos, go to the mirror, try them, rewind the video, go back to the mirror and try again until I got it.
