My music has a blue-eyed soul sound to it. I grew up listening to James Taylor on our family road trips. He's unbelievable.

I had a kissing scene on the first episode of Summerland. I thought it would be weird, but it wasn't too bad. The crew has seen it a million times. Plus, I feel very comfortable with everyone onset. It was harder on Kay, who plays my younger sister on the show. She was only 13 and had her first kiss in front of the camera. Doing it on your own is nerve-racking enough! Show less «
