Early life

It was during the tough times that her parents found a violin teacher to give her half-lessons at a low price, and the rest she learned on her own. The parents insisted on her taking the lessons despite the teacher saying that she could not learn well, taking just 15-minute lessons, so she began playing the violin at the age of 5.
They moved to Gilbert Arizona, where she attended the Mesquite High School and joined up with four other musician friends to form the group Stomp on Melvin. She ended up writing a solo violin track, which had a rock theme, which made her win the Arizona State title of Junior Miss. She went on to win the Spirit Award in the America’s Junior Miss finals.

He is the one who encouraged her to make videos for YouTube, and before long she was a star in her own right, and the rest of the music and dance profession started noticing her. She has truly come a long way and she still has talent to push her career much further. With a net worth of $3 million, there is no stopping this princess of music.
