SSM: What inspired you to become a singer? (like to follow through with it as a career)
Ariella: I’ve been singing ever since I can remember...the one thing that stands out though is the feeling that I got on stage at a local county fair when I was 5...I walked up to a man that was playing the guitar on stage, and I said'excuse me sir, but I would like to sing', so he played the guitar in the background and I sang 'a whole new world'..When I was on that stage I felt like I was unstoppable...that feeling kept me going :-)
