What is some of your best musical memories?
The best memories were when I was on a movie set. I was sitting at a table with my friends and one of them asked me to sing something for her because she wanted her friends to hear me. There where 80 people in the room and it was loud and noisy so I was trying to sing a little loud for my friend, and her friends to hear me. Before I knew it, the room got very quiet as though you can hear a penny drop, and everybody stopped to clap for me. I was a little nervous when that happen, but very thankful everyone had enjoyed my song.
