When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Shania Twain. I would always go sing the song 'Honey I'm Home.' I was, like, 12, and I'm singing about coming home from work and PMS and stuff.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
A miserable karaoke experience is when people are trying really hard and trying to show off. You have to just be chill - that's what makes karaoke fun.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
In my honest opinion, in 'Volumes I' and 'II,' we were still trying to figure out our sound.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
It depends on the arrangement. It could take 3 hours, it could take 3 days, it could take a week. 'Thrift Shop' took one arrangement session. We did it all in a circle that day. 'Evolution of Music' and 'Evolution of Beyonce' took a bunch of different sessions.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I feel like 2013 was one giant snowball of me being confused with my place in life and within the group. A lot of it was self-confidence issues, a lot of outside issues, and a lot of me questioning the future of what I was doing. And my mistake was letting all that influence me so that I wasn't the best I could be in life!
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
Moving to L.A. and making albums was an exciting outlet, but I always thought I'd be slumming it job to job in N.Y.C. with hopes of being on Broadway!
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
Being able to wake up every day knowing I'm living out my dream of performing is the best feeling in the world.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I think people are always going to say things about you or disapprove of your relationships or your ideals or your beliefs or something, but I think you have to stand up and stay strong in who you are and not let it affect you.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
The first artist that did it for me with just production was James Blake... I was just blown away... I feel like James Blake kind of was the one that introduced me into that world.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I fulfill a part of myself in Pentatonix. And then, we can all step away individually and do the specific things we like because we're all so different in musical tastes.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
Honestly, the most excited I've ever been for Christmas is when I get a big fluffy blanket.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I guess, just being in a group, I had never thought to question my individual artistry.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
The energy that a crowd gives you is so amazing and so fun because when the crowd's having fun, it makes us even more excited, and it feels like we're all having fun together. It's like a big party.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
As individuals, we are so different in our personalities, lifestyles, how we grew up, and our culture.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I love being able to fulfill such a huge and special part of myself with Pentatonix. But there is still so much more to me that, honestly, people don't get to see because we're in a group.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I loved performing and knew it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, that regardless of monetary success, I wanted to make an impact while doing what I loved and that would be successful for me.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
Music is so universal, and so I love that we can all be different, and we can all just show that.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
Everyone comes to music when they are mourning, when they are happy - for anything.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I feel like it has been a journey throughout the years to be accepting of my culture - I always felt different and not as accepting of it.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I've learned that even just as an individual, regardless of who I am, and regardless of who anyone is, to really be true to yourself and your own self expression and really use your voice for that.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
My favorite thing to hear is when people will come up and be like, 'I started an a capella group at my school!' or 'I got my best friend, and we wanted to sing, too!' And then they start groups.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I'm always trying to tell fans to love themselves. I see them going through a ton of hardships on Twitter and being bullied. It's really important and easier said than done to take care of yourself. A lot of people put themselves out for others and don't really think about mending themselves. Sometimes, they get a little lost that way.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
People aren't always going to approve or like what you have to say. But as long as you believe in it and are happy, that's all that matters.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
We're very comfortable in our own sound and what we do, and so that's where our inspiration is from - just things that we are truly inspired by or that we think will work well for us, and not just because something is Top 40.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I love singing our Christmas songs every chance we get. It's really cute.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I always wanted to write a sad song that sounds happy. I think everyone can relate to this emotion.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I've listened to a lot of different styles of music growing up, and they've all influenced me at different times in my life.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
When Pentatonix started, my whole vision of what I thought my life was gonna be completely changed - in a great way, obviously. I never thought that I would have the confidence to do this.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I always wanted to do musical theater. That was where I saw my life going since I was a musical theater major in college before I went to Pentatonix.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I feel like I have to be on my game because I have to handle my solo stuff and Pentatonix stuff, so it has really kept me on my toes in a good way.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
Even before Pentatonix, I always thought that I would be out here in New York doing Broadway and doing musical theater. That was what gave me the passion for music in the first place, so it's been really, really, cool.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I think, now that I've been writing songs in general, whether it's for the group or for me, I definitely feel like I got a little trigger happy, because it was so exciting to have production and create and put a lot in there.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
The experiences you gain by doing something solo - you have such a great work effort there as well, one we all have now - we can all bring it back to the group.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
It is based off the pentatonic scale, which is a five-note scale in music. And there are five of us. We were going to be The Pentatonix, but we dropped the 'The' and added an 'x' to try and be cooler.
Quote by -Kirstin Maldonado
I thought I would move to New York and be on Broadway; that was my goal. I was very work-focused.
