"I just want to say to everybody who has a dream, I want you to look at this as an example.

"This award was a 15-year pursuit, I moved to LA in 2009 and I like to liken myself to a plant who was been planted, you can look at the music industry as soil, dirty or a source of nutrients.

"My roots have been growing underneath for so long, I feel like today I am sprouting," she said.
