A: Angels by The XX, a friend introduced me to this song as he drove me home one night. We hadn’t seen each other in a while and as it played, we sat there in complete silence. I don’t know how he felt, but for me it was because the lyrics described exactly how I had felt about us. I fell in love with it and it will always be special. 

Q: If you could collaborate with any musician who would it be ?

A: I could never choose one, but my top three would be Bruno Mars (he has a smooth and romantic voice that draws you in), Drake (his rapping style and lyrics are genius) or Rihanna (Rihanna’s diversity in music and her attitude towards life is encouraging.)

Q: Summer Boy Crush? 

A: I wouldn’t mind going for sushi and a movie with Ryan Gosling or Bruno Mars.

Q: You have covered a lot of pop songs – is there any one that  speaks to you personally?

A: Rihanna’s “Stay” is definitely one I connected with personally. I have not been in a lot of relationships, but unfortunately I understand the vulnerability you feel when you are in a relationship that is not perfect, knowing it needs to end, yet feeling too vulnerable and scared to end it.

Q: What is your summer beauty regimen ? 

A: Lots and lots of Krav Maga training! I train anywhere from 5-15 hours a week. I recently passed a 56 hour Krav Maga instructor course training and will begin instructing classes over the summer.

Q: Summer  vacation plans ?

A: I plan on spending the summer working on my music, but I would love to go back to Guam to spend time with my family and go surfing. I learned how to surf in December last year and became obsessed. I got barreled a time or two - I hear that’s good for a first-timer.
