WW : How many years have you been a singer ? PO : I started getting interested in singing when I was about 12 or 13 years old . I used to mostly dance . I began singing in church and youth meetings . Then I had a desire to write my own songs and by the time I was 14 or 15 I started getting serious about it and so I wrote a couple songs . The first song I finished writing is my single " In God ' s Eyes ( Beautiful )". I ended up recording it and doing a music video for it too . It was pretty exciting ! But to answer your question ... I guess you could say I ' ve been singing for about 3 years since I ' m 16 right now .
WW : Who or What inspired you to be a singer ? PO : Disney stars and Nickelodeon stars inspired me to become a singer . Specifically , Keke Palmer inspired me the most . I loved what she ' s all about . I still do . Sierra McClain is one of role model ' s and inspiration now . She ' s so amazing . I also got inspired by Lecrae , Mary Mary , Kierra " Kiki " Sheard , Canton Jones and Andy Mineo who are christian singers . Lecrae and Andy Mineo are my favorite artists .
WW : Do you write your own songs ? PO : Yes , I do write my own songs . So far I have written about 30 songs and I can ' t wait for people to hear them !
WW : How many singles have you released ? PO : I have officially released only one single so far . I am planning to release more this summer so watch out for that !
WW : Have you released a album yet ? If not when ? No I have not released an album yet but i am looking into that ! Hopefully in 2013 .
