This/That

Fall/spring - BOTH :) That's really hard because I love the Spring, but I think Fall is so romantic. :)

Outdoor activity/indoor - Wow, these are so hard... Outdoor in the Spring and Summer, 
Indoor in the Fall and Winter

Broadway/film - Film...Well, I like Broadway, too...I love Rent!..But,... I still have to say Film 
though. Films can get up close and personal, and I like that.

Singing/dancing - Singing...but I love to dance, too!

Math/English - Umm I like Math a lot, but English if I had to choose.

Do you have any siblings? Can you tell us a little about your family?

Yes, I have a younger brother. He's 19; his name is Seanathan :) It's like Sean and Jonathan combined..hehe. Anyway, we get along really well, but we are just different; he was     always the rebel. I, on the other hand, am...the good one... who just had a lot to say! :)

 My mom is an inspiration! I know everyone says that, but she is the hardest working woman I know. And, she is insanely smart when it comes to business and ... just real life! My dad has also been really supportive. He's really musical, too :) He sings and plays guitar...he claims he gave me the "talent"... lol. ;)

Where are you from originally?

I was born in San Francisco. My parents were both born in Burma. I am half Chinese and half Burmese.

What is your favorite vacation spot?

I'm not sure. I would venture to guess Italy, but I've never been there ;) Once I go, I'll let you know. Out of the places that I HAVE been to, I'd say Hawaii or New York.

Have you always loved singing?  When did you start?

I started singing when I could talk...or that's what my parents tell me anyway! I have video tapes of me singing songs to the camera when I was two :) I officially started singing when I was eight, when I joined a church choir.

Were you a part of all the school choruses and plays?   

I never really got into my own high school theatre until I was a junior; I was always too nervous around the "drama" kids... I was never part of that group, so I felt like an outsider.  My senior year was my first lead role in a musical -- I played "Audrey" in Little Shop of Horrors! That was amazingly fun! :) But outside of my own school, I did do choruses and plays at the Conservatory of Music in SF     since I was 12 :)

Do you like acting as well?

Yes! I love to act. I think it's so fun. To me, it's so challenging though. I mean, with singing it's like...so easy, you know? But acting is a different story - I actually have to work at it...for this, I think actors are incredibly talented.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I love just hanging out with my friends and family. I like to travel as well...!

What has been your favorite overall performance you have taken part in?

Wow, there have been too many to name just one. But I love performing at schools. 
It's such a rewarding experience when you can go to a school and be able to perform for people who really appreciate the music.

Do you have a music video out or plan to put one out?

Yes, "Get Me Off" is out. It will be on some MTV stations soon :) You can also see it on my official website or my official myspace.

What is the inspiration behind your CD “I Came to Play” ?

All my songs are based on personal experience, and I CAME TO PLAY is no different. 
It's really a reflection of my experiences in the last year or so.

Any tours/performances planned?

Yes, I will be doing some high schools, colleges, and clubs in selected cities in the US. It's not all planned out yet, but definitely check my website or myspace page for the latest! :)

Could you give your fans and the FTV fans a special message ?

I just want to say THANK YOU to all of my fans who have supported me and support the music in the last couple of years to the present. You guys are the best! It's been an amazing journey and I hope that you will continue on with me :)
