When I’m about to go on stage, and I look out and just see the fans filled out in the arena, all pumped up and screaming – that gives me butterflies! I just love that feeling, and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s gonna be a great show!’ Manika Read Quote
When I’m on stage, it’s like a different world … me connecting with the audience. It’s a surreal experience. Manika Read Quote
My book ‘The Exciting Adventures of Boo’ was first published when I was fifteen. It is a children’s book with ten different stories. In each story, the main character Boo learns a lesson – one of the ten most important lessons I learned as a kid. I also donated all the money from my books I personally sold to my local ASPCA Animal Shelter. Manika Read Quote
Just Can’t Let You Go’ is a song about passion. It’s when you have such a strong passion and love for someone or something that your heart just can’t let it go. Whether it’s a special boy, girl, or that feeling you get when performing on stage or playing a sport. For me, my passion is music. I just can’t let it go! Manika Read Quote
The number one thing I look for is personality. For me, the personality of someone makes them more and more attractive over time … and for those with bad personalities, less and less attractive. I look for honesty, intelligence, kindness, and a good work ethic, to name a few. Manika Read Quote
One thing I really love in my single, ‘Just Can’t Let You Go,’ is the beatboxing; I think it’s really cool. Also, in my music, I’m not afraid to say what I want to say. I also think it’s relatable for other girls out there. Manika Read Quote
Alanis Morissette – I love how she’s not afraid to say what she wants to say. Love it or hate it, she’s going to say it. And her vocals are crazy; they’re amazing, and I also love how her music is really organic. Manika Read Quote
