2 Amazing

  • 2. I liked the way they treated the first second and third place finishers equally. It was an amazing year. I only entered two song contests this year I won one and placed second in the other. And I entered each of them a day or two before the deadline.
  • 3. I'm definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I've gotten from everybody – from my fans to people that I've idolized my whole life. So it's overwhelming it's amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I'm in a really good place right now.

5 Architecture
