What would you say is the worst advice you’ve ever been given?
I surround myself with great people, so I don’t get bad advice.

What about the best advice?
To stay humble and grounded through everything.

What is your biggest parental pet peeve?
My mom is annoying in general (laughs). I think at 15 years old, moms are just annoying—it doesn’t matter what they do. I mean, I love her to death! She’s amazing.

What about school can sometimes drive you crazy?
Teachers, a lot of the time; they just like to control, like they don’t really care. I had a teacher [once], and she would teach a lesson before class, like right when we got in, and then she’d say “okay, do it.” And I would ask a question and she would be like, “I already taught the lesson, you should have listened!” So, I didn’t get it.

What is the worst thing a girl can do in a relationship?
Lie.

What is the biggest obstacle you have had to overcome to be where you are today?
I didn’t go out and try to find a record deal, it kind of found me. So I didn’t really have struggles there.

Do you ever struggle to have your voice heard about where you want your career to go?
No…I have a great lawyer; he takes care of everything…I pay him, so he better listen to me! (laughs)

On meeting Usher…

It was great; I met him in the parking lot randomly. I got to meet him and sing for him and stuff. Then he signed me and I flew to L.A. and met with Justin Timberlake. Then they were, kind of like, almost in a bidding war, but then I ended up signing with Usher at Island Records.

On Justin Bieber fans…
My fans are great because I wouldn’t be in this position without them! I started on YouTube and then [they were] watching my videos and [that] really sparked everything. I wouldn’t be in this position without them.
