Q: What are your hobbies?
A: I like to draw,sing , dance and write

Q: Do you have a favorite one?
A: Well lately its been singing and then writing,then dancing then drawing

Q:How long have you been doing these hobbies?
A: I've been drawing for 12 years , singing for 6 years and dancing for 3 years and writing for about 6 years.

Q: What do you want to achieve in life?
A: I want to be a singer/songwriter. It sounds funny to say that because I always though drawing or just art was my only talent but after finding other talents I realized I'm more talented than I think. I don't sing like Mariah Carey,Keyshia Cole and Whitney Houston but I think I sing pretty good and write pretty good music that counts more in my opinion. I want to be a successful singer/songwriter and be a blessing to others and to my mother who deserves to much for caring for me and my brother and sister. I want to give back for what he's done for me and so something I really do. Music is my new lover while drawing is now more a thing I do when I'm bored. As long as I keep my faith in God I can do anything that the world say I can't do. One day everyone will see who I'm really am. My sun will rise.

Q: What inspire you to want to become a singer/songwriter?
A: Well.... its kinda hard to explain because I'm not exactly sure either *laughs* but I think music was always second to art for me. Alicia Keys has a beautiful voice and her songs were always meaningful I wanted to be like her and as well as Crystal Kay who is a successful singer in Japan. Alot of times on the computer I would read lyrics even if I never heard the song before or even knew who sung it or wrote I think music would have to mean so much for you when you do that. I wrote my first song in either 6th or 7th grade it was an R&B song. It was called Please Come back to Me. My friend read in 8th grade and she really liked it. I thought one day I could be a good songwriter one day but for some reason I felt a little sad because it wouldn't really feel right having someone sing something that you wrote out of your heart so I wanted to sing my own but of course songs for other people like what Ne-yo does. Many songwriters end up debuting as singers so I started to sing alot I didn't care if I didn't hit a note at the moment I believed eventually I will. In 6th and 7th grade I have chorus which sparked my love for music that even after chorus I still sung. I had a hard time just listening to songs without singing with them. Ivan and Andrea two people in my chorus classes said I sound pretty good and that made me not wanna stop singing til this day I won't stop.

Q: Have you ever sung in front of people?
A : If you count karaoke then yes. But I haven't sung in front of people with my real voice because I'm shy at the moment but I said to myself and God that I wanted to sing in front of my mother with confidence. Until then I must keep practicing my vocals *laughs* Its funny because even with art I draw better when no one is around but eventually I became comfortable to draw in front of people so I believe it will be the same with my parents and the people around me.

Q: Who would you like to work with?And why?
A: I would like work with Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco eventhough he's workin on his last album, Alicia Keys, Big Bang and Taeyang personally who's from Big Bang. GDragon the leader of Big Bang writes their songs and he's very good at that I would love work with him on a song and Taeyang has a good voice and he's my favorite so i would love to write a song with him or sing with him. Kanye is good because he has a unique rap flow you can't compare him to any other rapper and i like a quite of few of his songs.

Q: When you become famous and successful what would you do with your first paycheck?
A : Umm.....*laughs* I wanna buy mom a big house, like I said before she deserves everything in this world. Before I use the paycheck I need to give back from what God provided me with and that's a caring,spiritual loving mother.I love her with all my heart and I wish I never did bad things because she had to do alot in my family and I should've been easy on her. But now I'm getting older and wiser I know now not to.

Q: What example do you wanna set in the music industry?
A: I wanna be different , I don't like to be compared to other people alot unless it's positive but still I wanna bring something totally new to the table that no singer can imitate. Also, I wanna have diverse music not just on subjects like love, friends etc but collab with people around the world and from different backgrounds than me and different genres. Although I'm a R&B singer I like rock,pop techno ,jazz and many others so I would like to show a part of me from those.

Q:Besides singing is there anything else you would like to do?
A: Sure, I would like to work with video game companies and direct music videos and design fashion.

Q: What do you look in a guy.Sorry, I know this has nothing to do with music?
A: *laughs* Its a good question though. Well I like funny guys who can also be serious when it is time for it. He has to romantic, he has to buy me things and flowers but not all the time. He has to smart but I don't mean in math and stuff like that but about life he needs to know what's wrong and what's right.He has to have high self-esteem and high confidence and knows how to present himself respectfully and knows how dress good. He needs to have some kind of height at least taller than me. He definitely can't have a close mind.And her can't be a rebel boy and wants to be different instead of just being himself.I fall for guys with pretty eyes with curly hair easily.

Q: What kind of body does he need to have?
A: I hope like Taeyang from Big Bang *laughs* if not he just has to be slim not chubby.

Q: Ok, moving on. What's your favorite song in 2008?
A: Wow that's hard honestly.I usually don't have a favorite song but I do have lots of favorite songs. But I guess it would be No One by Alicia Keys because I haven't heard a new song from her in awhile and she's one of my favorite female R&B singer and its a lovely song that I love to sing alot even now in 2009.

Q: Do you have a song that you don't like?
A: Yes I do actually,lots of them but Lollipop by Lil Wayne would be first. I don't like his music and I barely understand half of what he says in them in my opinion.

Q: I'm guessing you are aware of the Big Asian movement in America this year,right? How you do you feel about it?
A: I'm really happy eventhough I'm not Asian. But I have alot of favorite Asian singers who are debuting this year like Rain,Se7en,Utada, and BoA. So I'm really happy.I also can't wait to see Hype Nation with Son Dambi. Its nice to Asians getting the piece of the pie lately its been Hispanics and Black people now its there turn too.

Q: I totally agree with you. What do you expect your debut to be like?
A: Hopefully to God, it will incredible and unbelievable *laughs* I hope to have my singles on top of the charts and my debuted album on top too.
