How did you get involved with the show?
I auditioned for the school and I had great auditions. My best auditions were drama and dance and vocal was OK. And then MTV came up and said, "Hey, do you want to be on the show? And I said 'yeah, of course.'" It's great exposure. I want to showcase my talent, myself, my personality.
