I%u2019ve been lucky to find a group of people to work with on this last project that really made me feel safe to explore certain things in my life that I%u2019ve never spoken about to anyone. Once that band-aide was pulled off, the process became easier and more things just started flowing from me. And then I actually healed some things within myself. In the back of my mind I would always wonder when my music was out in the world, what the reaction would be. But you never know who you are touching with your truth or how much you really have in common. The greatest reward is when I get messages about how I%u2019m helping people through dark times. When you%u2019re able to connect on that level and be someone that someone else looks up to, it%u2019s such an honor. Negativity is undeniable, but the good always outweighs the bad; and that feeling is rewarding. It makes being vulnerable even easier now in my music.MFM: %u201cCould You Be the One%u201d- Is there a music video coming for this? How do you come up with concepts for your videos?KE: Yes, there will be a video! I%u2019m actually coming up with that concept now. And I have another single dropping soon called %u201cEuphoria.%u201d It%u2019s funny, when I%u2019m in the process of actually the writing the song, I know it feels good when I can actually see pictures in my head, while I%u2019m still in the studio. Some of the concepts will start even as early as then, and then I%u2019ll sit with my choreographer and stylist and just brainstorm from those initial visions.MFM: Do you have a dance background, or where did you learn to dance so well? KE: I started with ballet at a very young age. And then depending on the production I was involved in, I was introduced to different forms of dance. Janet Jackson was a huge inspiration for me when I was young. And that took my concept of performing and music to another level. To me, it%u2019s just another way of telling the story of the music.MFM: I saw your %u201cFreakshow%u201d behind the scenes dance with Kevin Maher. What is the most challenging and the best part of working with an amazing choreographer like him?KE: I%u2019ve known and have been working with Kevin for years now, so I%u2019m very comfortable with him, his artistic opinion, and his approach to the creative process. In the beginning the most challenging thing was not wanting him to think that I sucked, because he had worked and danced with artists that I looked up to [laughs]. The best part of working with him is how he challenges me. He really understands me and my personality so well that he brings out the best in me and keeps pushing me to be better. We have such a great friendship that I trust him without question. Also the work is always fun, no matter what!MFM: What is your exercise routine every day? What do you love to do besides dance?KE: I love to spin, and I have found that very low weights, or working with my own body weight and high reps of exercises, are what my body responds to best to get the results I%u2019m looking for. It%u2019s also the best way to always be able to work out, because you don%u2019t need a gym and can do your exercises anywhere. So I get it in almost every day.
