"I needed something that was between just me and my friends, and getting up on a stage," she said. "Busking (chơi nhạc ngoài đường hay ở các tiệm để kiếm sống) was like the training wheels that prepared me. You learn to have a thick skin. People walk away, and it's balanced by the people who do stay and listen. If it wasn't for the busking, I don't think I would've gotten involved in performing."
