I was always told that music isn’t a ‘realistic’ path to take, and like a normal human being, I doubted myself over and over because I was afraid of failure.
Success is when you see something, and you say, ‘I want to do that,’ and then you do it. It’s being happy with what you do and doing what you love every day.
It’s amazing: it’s so cool being from Brampton, Ontario, and being able to travel the world and being embraced by so many countries.
It’s so cool though when I see thirty-year-old men that are coming in to watch my shows. It’s like, ‘You really like my music? Like a teenage girl, you relate to it?’ It just proves how much people are alike.
‘Wild Things’ is saying, ‘I don’t have to belong anywhere. This is where I belong.’ It’s a place in the back of my mind that I created, and it’s cool, and I love it here.

I feel like I’m in my own head a lot; it just feels amazing, but scary, weird and confusing.
I’ve never hosted a party in my life, not even my own birthday party. I’d feel really uncomfortable saying, ‘Hey everybody, let’s celebrate me!’ But I’m not antisocial. I don’t hate people.
I first picked up a guitar when I was ten years old; my parents surprised me with it for my tenth birthday. I started taking lessons when I was thirteen, but only for a few months, and then I just kept teaching myself.
It’s good to have a reminder that we can love ourselves and be beautiful even though we don’t really fit into certain standards of what beauty may be.
Having a mom as a hairdresser was really awesome: I was always her test dummy. I’ve had every style, every color you could imagine.
Both my parents are Italian. My mom was born and raised in Italy. My dad was born in Canada, but then they moved to Italy.
I’m really in touch with my Italian roots. My mom’s whole side of the family is there.
I’m not a fitness model; I’m just a singer. If people focus on that, that’s what I care about.
