_{Interview by Rhonda McKnight}

_{1. How are you? For people who are not familiar with your work can you give us a brief over view?}

_{My music is really about observation and interpretation...I think I write from a personal place a lot of times but I also just enjoy expressing my perception of human emotion and behavior through music...it's fascinating to me the way a song can take you places and change your perspective on something...and I’d say that my sound can be very melodic and guitar rock at times but can also break down entirely to intimate acoustic}

_{2. You have a very exotic look, what is your nationality? Where did you grow up?}

_{I get this question almost every day! I'm a mix of a bunch of things...mostly Italian, German, French, and then also Irish, Scottish and English...and even though I’m all things European I grew up in Bay Village, OH on Lake Erie}

_{3. How does it feel to be in NYC, LA other place away from your family?}

_{Traveling is probably my greatest passion aside from art and music, so I love to be in a million places in a short amount of time but it is hard to be away from the people you care about the most. My family is a huge part of my life and really has supported me in unbelievable ways throughout my life and career so I try to spend  as much time with them as I can when I’m not working}

_{4. How are old were you when you decide to do what you do?}

_{I always wanted to be some sort of artist. My dad taught me to paint when I was a really little girl and then bought me a guitar when I was in fifth grade. When I turned 15 I decided I wanted to try my hand at songwriting and asked him to teach me to play. I fell in love with the release a guitar gave me and I guess I haven't put it down since.}

_{5. What hobby's do you have?}

_{I went to school for fine art for two years and that's been a huge passion of mine since I can remember. I still bring a sketchbook with me everywhere and have a whole corner of my room with my easel and paints that I spend a lot of time in. I bring canvas on the bus and make a mess of the back lounge. I think anything artistic that allows you to invent something new is essential to me. I’ve also really loved exploring the world of acting these past few years and would love to do more film, TV or theater down the road.}

_{6. What is your Hollywood crush? What type of boys do you attract?}

_{Caleb Follow ill from Kings of Leon...his live performance is unbelievable. I think I tend to attract guys that are driven and spontaneous since I am definitely both of those things.}

_{7. What is your ideal mate like?}

_{I want to be with somebody who enjoys a random adventure and would rather play darts at a dive bar then go to the coolest club. I think I'm drawn to guys who are confident yet don't take themselves too seriously. And they need to be easy to talk to. I talk a lot, so I have to be with somebody I could talk to for hours and who can laugh at the same things as me. I inappropriately find humor in almost everything.}

_{8. Who influences your style?}

_{I think almost everything influences my style...traveling is a great way to see how people present themselves in different parts of the world and I think that changing your scenery often also is so inspiring. I love Gwen Stefani’s look and Chrissy Hynde is just fabulous.}

_{9. Who is your favorite designer and why? Who would you love to be offer an ad campaign or partnership with?}
