When did you start singing?
I started singing when I was 3 years old. I loved the musical “Annie,” and I knew all the songs in it. My mom told me that a theater group in my town was having auditions for it, and I told her I wanted to audition. I didn't make it because I was too young, but that's when I realized I loved performing.
