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.
Your voice is like a very serious instrument that you have to tame if you want to be an amazing singer - Marvin Gaye or Michael Jackson.
I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.
Smokey Robinson is one of my heroes as a singer and songwriter; a major influence on my own music from the very start.

I don't think of myself as a singer really.
I get along with all the women singers, but especially Dolly Parton. We talk the same hillbilly language.

I always said that I'm not the best singer in the world, just the loudest.
I'm not interested in being known as the singer from Led Zeppelin.
Puffy's the only guy who's jealous. All drummers want to be singers. I think it's a myth that the singer needs to be the focus. Bands perpetuate that myth. With somebody like Sebastian Bach it makes sense. Look at him. He could be in an Avon ad.
