I Was A Straight-a Student, Baby!

My Mom Was An Amazing Singer And Music Was A Big Part Of My Life, So I Grew Up Listening To Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini; I Used To Watch 'the Andy Williams Show' On Tv. I Was Very Musical, So I Was Watching Stuff That Most Kids My Age Wouldn't Be Interested In.

I Love Gershwin. I Love Musicals.

I Was Going To Be A Doctor, But I Think My Music Allowed Me To Help More People Than I Could Have Done One-on-one As A Psychologist. Just Like Other People's Music Really Helped Me.

The Separation Of Families To Me Is Very Close To My Heart Because We Lived That As Immigrants. I Strongly Feel That We All Connected, And Having Felt People's Love And Support First-hand Through Difficult Moments In My Life, Makes Me Feel It's Our Responsibility To Help One Another. I Am Privileged To Help In Some Way, And I Will Always Take That Opportunity.

Motherhood Is... Difficult And... Rewarding.
