She introduced me into music in a way that no one else did and because of that I started to take singing lessons.

I always had a passion for singing and I knew it was something that I enjoyed. I discovered this from my elementary school music teacher Mrs. Saint-John. She always encouraged me to be the best musician and singer that I could be and she always gave me the opportunities I needed to improve. She introduced me into music in a way that no one else did and because of that I started to take singing lessons. Because of her influence, I was able to start singing in festivals and do musicals.
