Confidence is not 'they will like me'. Confidence instead is 'I'll be fine if they don't'.
Be stupid, be dumb, be funny, if that's who you are. Don't try to be someone that society wants you to be, that's stupid. So be yourself.
People aren't born strong. people grow stronger little by little, encountering difficult situations learning not to run from them.
No matter what society is trying to drill in your head about how you should look, how you should act, and what you need to say, I think it's all crap. All of it. Be yourself and do you.
Be different; be unique; be yourself.
I'm not perfect, but I believe my faith in Jesus Christ will really take me far in the world!
If It's your passion and you want to do it for the rest of your life, why would comments stop you from doing that?
I want longevity; I love music, being a musician is the greatest gift in the world to me, and if I were to get signed to a label, my family and team around me are always gonna be there to make sure they want the very best for me. My fans are what it's all about.
Don't let the idiots that like to bring you down, succeed in discouraging you. I let it get to me a while ago, and let me tell you, it feels SO good to come up under it!
If you can't find what's unique, people aren't going to listen.
Be respectful to your peers and yourself, of course. Don't be a jerk. But at the same time don't settle for anything less than yourself.
Please, please, PLEASE be yourself. If you catch yourself not, take a step back.
Most of all I like to sing my heart out to lyrics that really speak to people.
I've seen too many celebrities fall from their morals, and I wanna come up under that and be THAT girl that doesn't need a scandal to make herself look better.
I only wish to climb even higher during the rest of my career bc with the power of Team Grimmie, I won't stop.
And hey, it's okay to laugh at yourself sometimes, I do dumb things all the time (haha). But when it get's too personal, get your tough skin on and stand firm.
I went to Philippines and I literally had the time of my life.
But I also think it's about a person's personality that draws people in, too, not just their singing.
Youtube was the start of my career officially, although since I was 4 I've wanted to be a singer. I've performed here and there before youtube, but youtube push me much further.
I make make music in my own time, messing around with beats and riffs I write. Always practicing performing in my room most times I probably look like an idiot dancing around haha.
But Stacie Orrico was my childhood hero. I was about 12 when I found her music. She is a contemporary Christian artist, and I can honestly tell you that I don't think I'd have a soulful voice if I didn't listen to Stacie. I wanted to sound just like her growing up, and to this day I STILL think I sound a little bit like her. But she is AMAZING!
I had the opportunity to go on 2 tours with Selena Gomez and that really boosted the exposure and experience for me. It was when I got a shot at The Voice that I really got the biggest boost and got to show what I could do!
My dad noticed some kind of talent on piano when he asked me to play a couple random songs on piano when I was 6 and I just did it. I attempted lessons but I was just so bad at reading notes. I would read "Three Blind Mice" by ear, so learning notes was almost impossible.
Skrillex. The man is a genius and paved a new way for music and it's very inspiring.
Harry Style's hair is probably the greatest thing on this planet.
