[/p]What was your biggest Grammy moment and why?[/p]

Well, I guess it would be when "Only Girl (In the World") won for best dance song!

Was winning a Grammy one of your goals when you began your career in music?

Well actually when I began I didn't really know what a Grammy was. I do this for the love of music, however, a Grammy is the most prestigious award u can receive in this industry. So because of that and the history behind the Grammys, I'm very humbled.

What was it like holding your statue for the first time?

Just knowing that my work was appreciated by my peers was Incredible! Its always been a dream to have my song performed by a great artist and Rhianna made that dream come true. The entire night was very overwhelming !

How do you feel about Rihanna as an artist? How were you able to tap into her voice and write 'Only Girl'?

I love her sound and how she approaches every record she sings. I just tried to capture that uniqueness and prayed it would work lol...Thank God lol

What was your favorite performance? Why?

It was most definitely B.O.B, Janell Monet, and Bruno Mars! They shut it down!!! I loved how they all contributed to each others performance!

What was your least favorite performance? Why?

I won't say least favorite but I definitely could never have imagined an Aretha Franklin tribute without Fantasia. I would've loved to have seen her up there sharing the stage with Jennifer and everyone else.

Best Grammy fashion of the night?

Hmmmm, Cee-Lo hands DOWN! lol
