Who are you?

I am exactly the same person as seen in my videos, but with a lot more confidence now. I have utter faith in

myself to sing any song.

What made you go ahead and create a YouTube channel?

I love singing! And I felt the need to showcase my voice in a different way, hence Youtube.

What do you usually post?

Vocal covers of other musicians music, though I have written some of my own songs I do find it easier for me to

sing someone else's music.

How do you feel about comments made of your videos?

I absolutely adore them, all of them! Good and bad, as long as I 'm receiving actual feedback I know that I 'm doing

something right and that people are actually watching my videos.

What kinds of videos do you usually watch?

I watch music and comedy oriented videos. I adore JennaMarbles!

She has such a wonderful sense of humor.

Who would you like to meet?

I would love (not just l ike) to meet the bands TesseracT and Karnivool. I look up to them so much, and TesseracT

really inspired me early on in my videos so it would be a dream to meet them especial ly.

What can we expect in 201 2 from you?

For me to stop slacking ha-ha! I ful ly intend to knock out every one of the requests that I 've received over the past

year and a half.
