On my mom’s side I’m Mexican, and my dad is a white dude.
When you have lost people like I lost my birth mom at a young age and you remember the whole process of losing her, you want to grab on to something that makes you whole.
When I was seven, I asked my mom if I could be on TV, and she said if I really wanted to, I could. I got an agent and booked my first audition.
I was born to a single mom and raised by her and my grandparents.
My mom came from such humble beginnings and especially my dad as well. He didn’t go to university.
At first I could not believe what I was reading. I got up from my seat and walked away, talking to myself that I may have found my mom.
My mom moved up between Leland and Greenville when I was just a little tot.
Our songs touch people, and take them back to a time when there was no threat of terrorism, when you didn’t have to lock your doors and when Mom and Dad took care of everything.
Well, Mom and Dad are both actors, and I’ve spent a lot of time watching my mom on stage and a lot of time on set with my dad, so it was very much a part of my growing up.
I always was drawn to the performing arts. I started dancing when I was two. I sang, loved to act, and loved going to visit my mom on-set. But she wanted me to have a normal childhood, so I wasn’t really allowed to pursue acting till I got older.
