My main focus when I do my makeup is my eyes - I accentuate my eyes, and they look bigger. More 'va va voom,' I guess you can say.
I love Shakira - she is such a beautiful person. She does so many good things for the world on top of making good music. And she is an awesome mom. When you are Latina, it is all about family, and to see that she prioritizes family and her career at the same time is really nice.
Being a teenager, it's so hard to find foundation that's good for your skin for everyday wear.
Even though I know who I am, musically I'm a blank canvas. I know what colors I want to use, but I don't know what picture I want to paint yet.
When I was 11, I decided to start rapping, playing guitar, and writing songs. Everything really blossomed from there.
I'm like, 'Yeah, I could afford braces, but why should I change myself to be what everybody else wants me to be when I'm OK with who I am and I'm happy with who I am?'
'Can't Stop Dancing' is this other side of me that I was ready to introduce to my fans, which is like, after you hang out with me, you start to see that I can be chilled and relaxed, and I'm a little bit more mature for my age.
It's nice to get to know people who are the same age as you that do the same things because it's like a different level of understanding.
I love having my hoop earrings. Just regular gold hoops.
I figured, 'Why not go into entertainment?' I love entertaining people. I always loved being extra loud.
My favorite holiday memory was sitting at home all day in my pajamas during winter break for school watching a bunch of old Christmas movies like 'Jack Frost' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' with my siblings and parents.
For me, my number one Hollywood role model is Jennifer Lopez.
Honestly, are we ever going to get over 'California Girls' by Katy Perry? I know it's old, but that song - I love that song!
I'm a California girl. I grew up in Inglewood right by LAX.
This is kind of weird, but I eat lemons with salt as snack. They're so good!
I wrote 'Wish U Were Here' for Cody Simpson, and he invited me to perform with him on tour and be in his music video. He was shy at first. I think it's the surfer boy in him that makes him so mellow.
I'm all about telling stories. I like people to picture the music video in their head when they're just listening to the song.
I always tell people, 'Coming from such a big Mexican family when there's a new baby every three weeks, you have to do something to get someone's attention.'
My song 'Play It Again' is a perfect example of my music because the verses go so hard, and they're so urban; and then this pop hook comes out of nowhere and socks you in the face and makes you want to dance.
Never let the negativity get to you. There are gonna be a lot of people you have to plow through, but as long you believe in yourself, that's all that matters.
