I Was Born In America, But I

I Was 16-years-old When I Appeared On 'american Idol,' And The Show Was My Boot Camp. It Was A Crazy, Stressful At Times, Experience.

I Always Had An Idea For What I Wanted To Do In The Future And Throughout My Career. This Wasn't, Like, Me Figuring Out What To Do After Idol. I've Always Known The Steps In What I Had To Do To Get Where I Was.

The Thing That I Did Not Like About Being Signed To A Label Was I Unable To Have Control Over What I Wanted To Do.

I Think That I Have Grown A Lot As An Artist. I Have Been Writing About My Experiences Of Love And Overcoming The Struggles That I Have Faced In The Music Industry. I Have So Much More To Tell My Fans, And I Know So Much More About Myself. It Is Crazy How Much I Have Grown Over These Past Years.

I Always Make A Wish At 11:11, Even If Its Something Cheesy.
