I was always singing around my house, and my parents thought they should put me into voice lessons just for fun.

I think my great-grandpa was an opera singer or something.

I feel like every time I walk into the audition room, they can tell if you're faking it and if your heart's really not with it. So I try to keep it as real as possible.

I was born in Westchester, NY. I grew up around the Rye Brook area, and then I moved to White Plains with my family.
