I saw [the Vibe article], but I don't really comment on that because I know it's not true.

When people ask me, I tell them, "Hey don't believe all that mess. We're close and people took it the wrong way."

It was a painful time for me and my family. That's why I'm proud to say I'm a strong person. I'm a survivor and I can handle anything. I'm very confident about that. I come from a very strong family and they are always there to protect me. If I need any help I'll just call on my mummy or daddy or my brother to whom I'm very close.

I'm seventeen now so I've grown in a lot of ways, artistically and vocally.

Honestly, there were negative things that were said in the past and that was one reason that I did feel it was best for me to move on. That was a rough period for me and my family, a very tumultuous time. But I'm a very strong person. I think it says a lot about me that I'm here today and I answer the questions.

I knew at a very young age this was what I wanted to do. I started singing at six so I knew by the time I was eight.
