I\u2019m telling you, I honestly don\u2019t know how I\u2019m functioning. I think it\u2019s just the Lord\u2019s strength. If I\u2019m relying on my own strength, I think I would\u2019ve passed out by now a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Do you do a lot of your own writing, and what inspires you?<\/b><\/p>\n
Typically, I usually write by myself, which was always hard for me because I\u2019m not a very vulnerable person. But I have been trying to collaborate with other writers because I feel like my real gift and talent is more interpreting the music and having somebody kind of write for me. That might be more beneficial to make my story come alive through their words. But I do enjoy writing, and I hope to strengthen that muscle.<\/p>\n
What kind of music do you think you\u2019ll be making?<\/b><\/p>\n
I feel like I\u2019ve always told myself I don\u2019t want to be put in a box of, \u201cOh, this is my genre.\u201d I\u2019m a singer and I love music. I just want to sing whatever comes from the heart. I just hope that whatever music I do, that my sound, as far as my voice, seeps through whatever kind of song that I do.<\/p>\n
This win comes with a $1 million prize. Do you have any plans for the money?<\/b><\/p>\n
I haven\u2019t really thought about what I would do if I won and I got the money. I think the title was more important for me because starting from Season 1, when I was 10, to now, going through this long, hard journey and making it [to] Season 20 to the finale, and then winning it, was just a big message to not only my younger self but also to my daughter.<\/p>\n
Did you ever consider coming back before Season 20 or was this just serendipitous?<\/b><\/p>\n
I did consider it [for] a few years, bouncing the idea back and forth, but I just didn\u2019t feel right. I don\u2019t think I was ready with myself yet. It just so happened [on] Season 20, I didn\u2019t even realize it had been 20 years later. I was like, \u201cYou know what, I think I want to jump back into this.\u201d Then, literally a couple [of] days later, I find out that I\u2019m pregnant. I\u2019m like, \u201cOK, what am I going to do now?\u201d But I just took that leap of faith. I was like, \u201cIf this is for me, then God will open the doors for me.\u201d And Sofia [Vergara] gave me the Golden Buzzer. So, OK, I guess we\u2019re going to do this. We\u2019re going to see what happens.<\/p>\n

That had to have been really validating. Do you remember what she said to you after you won?<\/b><\/p>\n
My brain has been everywhere, especially in that moment. There was just so much going on. She has just been so gracious and so amazing to me. She would come up on stage and just rub my belly. She\u2019s just the sweetest woman. I honestly can\u2019t thank her enough for giving me that Golden Buzzer because I feel like that moment was not only big for me, but for people watching at home, seeing how far I\u2019ve come from Season 1 to now and how hard it\u2019s been, and how I haven\u2019t given up. To see that in me in that moment, it just made everything so much bigger.<\/p>\n
Did you get close with any of the other contestants this season, and do you think you\u2019ll maintain any of those relationships?<\/b><\/p>\n
Definitely. There\u2019s a lot of contestants. Everybody was so amazing. I really have nothing bad to say about anybody. Everybody was unbelievably talented, but also their personalities were amazing. Micah, I love Micah [Palace]. I love Jourdan [Blue]. I love Zak [Mirz], the magician. There\u2019s so many, but those three guys are the homies now. I love them so much.<\/p>\n
What would be your advice to anyone who wants to try out for a show like this in the future?<\/b><\/p>\n
My advice is, you guys saw me on Season 1. I was 10 years old and I had this fire inside of me, and I gave it all I got, but I didn\u2019t make it through that time. But that did not kill my dream. I kept fighting for it. Throughout these years, it has not been easy, but it has been well worth it, picking myself back up and believing in myself again. And I would just encourage you to do the same thing. Just continue to fight for those dreams and work on your craft, and I know it\u2019s going to be such a beautiful journey for you.<\/p>\n
What was your first interaction with your husband after you won?<\/b><\/p>\n
I was sobbing on stage, I could barely talk. Once the show was over, he came up on stage, and he was kind of teary-eyed. I never see him like that. So that made me even more emotional. We\u2019ve been trying to celebrate together, it\u2019s just been moving so fast. But I know that when we get home and everything kind of settles down, I\u2019m probably going to cry like a baby again. Just soaking it all up.<\/p>\n
Do you have everything ready at home for the baby?<\/b><\/p>\n
We just got done kind of remodeling the house a little bit, so there\u2019s still a little bit of chaos. But I told myself, I don\u2019t know how long I\u2019m going to be [away] in L.A., so let me just get at least the baby stuff ready. I packed a hospital bag for myself here, just in case I had her here. But most of the baby stuff at home is pretty set. We\u2019re good on that.<\/p>\n
