Some people's parents listened to the Beatles... but my family is Alquimia, Celia Cruz, and Carlos Vives - this old, rich Colombian music. I loved hearing that while I was growing up.

I was very small when I started making music. I think the first song might have been when I was, like, in grade one, maybe? It was really ironic, cause it was a kid talking about taking time with growing up.

The EP is called 'Kiddo' because this has been an uphill battle for me. As a female in the industry, as a female of colour, some people will demean me. So it's like, 'OK, you wanna call me kiddo? I'll show you kiddo.'

Talk to your enemies; sometimes ignorance comes from a lack of understanding.

To just get in front of different kinds of audiences is important for me. I do think it's important for music to be a big family. Whether it's country or not.

Every girl should use what Mother Nature gave her before Father Time takes it away.

I've got friends in the different teams I've played for, but family is the most important thing to me. That will always be the case.

Everybody I talked to - from my friends to my family and some of the players - really gave me a lot of support from the start. And that certainly made me feel good about trying to come back and be one of the best again.
