What do you do when you are frustrated?

If I ever become too overwhelmed or frustrated I normally always call my parents and vent. Then I will sit down, make a to do list, drink some water and breathe.

Favorite nursery rhyme?

My favorite nursery rhyme is a song my dad wrote for me when I was born. He use to sing it to me every night before going to bed. It pretty much was a song filled with words that rhymed with Hayley.

Prettiest place you have ever been to?

The prettiest place I have ever visited was Cape Manazuru in Japan. It was absolutely unreal. I will always remember it as my special place.

I get excited when: I'm about to get food.

What is your most embarrassing bookmark?

My most embarrassing bookmark? To be honest I can't even remember owning one. I was 'that girl' always bending the book pages.

Last time you wrote a letter?

The last time I wrote a letter must have been when I was 13. I wrote to a new friend I had made in Salt Lake City. We became pen pals

Word you always spell wrong:

Story behind the title of your EP "A Belle To Remember"?

I named my EP 'A Belle To Remember' because it was the perfect introduction title to my solo career. It introduces me and also makes a statement that this is only the beginning.

You have had success in acting, singing and dancing. Is there a career path you like more than the others?

I love every aspect of performing: dancing, singing, acting. They all stimulate me in different ways. I love keeping myself busy with new opportunities.

A lot of artists are going the fan-funded route. How did that experience work for you?

My fans are KIYOKRAZY!! They are beyond supportive and have helped launch my career in more ways than one. I couldn't have released my EP without them and they funded my current music video for 'A Belle to Remember'. I love them so much and can't wait to give back and meet all of them in person!!
