THAT I DON’T THINK ANYBODY CAN
IMAGINE, DOESN’T IT?

BIT, AND, YOU KNOW, MY PARENTS
SAW POTENTIAL IN ME.
THEY WERE LIKE, DO THE SCHOOL
SHOW, DO THE PLAYS, AND I GOT
INTO IT.
INTO IT. AND I LEARNED THE CHOIR, AND I
STARTED GETTING MY FIRST SOLOS
AND MY FIRST ROLES IN MUSICALS
AND PLAYS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
AND IT REALLY HELPED ME COME OUT
OF MICHELLE.
OF MICHELLE. AND HIGH SCHOOL IS WHEN I REALLY
STARTED GETTING INTO MY
SONGWRITING AND SINCE THEN IT’S

PASSIONATE ABOUT.
PASSIONATE ABOUT. >> VERY NICE.
SO HOW DID YOU THEN BECOME PART
OF THIS SHOW AND WHEN WILL YOU
PERFORM?

PRESSURE.
PRESSURE. BUT I’M VERY, VERY EXCITED TO DO

ESTABLISHED AND VERY DEVELOPED,

LITTLE BIT NERVE-RACKING.
BUT I AM SO EXCITED AND
HONESTLY, I’M VERY HONORED TO BE
SIDE BY SIDE BY SUCH AMAZING
ARTISTS.
ARTISTS. >> Tati: WELL, THIS IS ALL
ABOUT THE SONG, RIGHT?
