For me, that's always been one of the great charms of the first person: we gain access to a very personal, private kind of music.
I write a lot of my music, but not all of it. I have always subscribed to the 'best song wins' theory when making an album.
I studied music; I studied theater. I went to school for it, so I kind of treat it in that manner, that whether or not I can hang out, I've always been the one to go in my room and chill.
People kept saying, 'You've made it!' and I was like, 'What have I been doing all this time?' I've always felt successful.
I have always loved music. My mom used to sing with my sister and I when I was younger, and I was in choirs and loved to perform, but when I was in college, I went on a study abroad to Trinidad, and while I was there, I sang backup at my first concert.
I always did each show for about two years. So if you play the music, it just comes back to me.
My mother had been a Latin teacher, and she was always very fascinated with words. She and I shared books and responded to them.
That's always been a dream for me, to be able to collaborate and make music with the people that inspired you to make music.
'Piaf' I did it because I wanted to do more theater instead of only musicals, and someone gave me the book and said to me, 'You have to do it.'
