I love my mom with all my heart. She's my best friend.
I love ballads. I'm not into fast songs. I love to put my heart and all of my feelings into a song.
I landed gigs touring with The Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears!
I want to be on stage and perform and win Grammys and help out my family in Bulgaria, because they are struggling, and my mom and dad, too.
I am a first generation American, and my family is from Bulgaria.
My parents are actually very famous singers in Bulgaria. My dad was in a rock band, and my mom was in a pop group. They met, fell in love, and actually formed a group together to escape the country because it was Communist, and they couldn't leave. They didn't know any English but eventually found their way to America.
I'm very comfortable in my skin. Everyone has insecurities - I joke around about wishing I had more cheeks - but I'm happy with who I am. You have to make do with what you have. If you carry yourself right, you can make anything look good.
I want to bring real music back but make it marketable and mainstream. To me, real music isn't everything being synthesized, computerized.
Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.
I am really into color and bright clothing. When I'm wearing heels, I always like to throw some different colors into my outfit, so it doesn't match. That gives my look a retro and funky feel.
I just love food, especially my mom's Bulgarian cooking. Taco Bell is my favorite fast food restaurant. I also love Italian food.
My favorite singer is Lauryn Hill - all time, hands down. She was my biggest inspiration growing up.
I love Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Brandi, Sade, Nat King Cole. I like the Beatles. I listen to a lot of that.
Carrying yourself with poise and joy and peace within - that's sexy.
Confidence is a huge turn-on, but I like a man who's also kind and gentle. It's sexy when a guy listens and can have a conversation or read a book - something different than just going out to the club.
