NN:
As a child, you were considered a tomboy by many, but eventually you began singing opera at local, hometown gigs. When did you realise that you possessed the potential of a model and recording artist?
CA:
I started singing really young, when I was 8 or 9 years old. I was always engaged in something artistic as a child. I took vocal lessons, painting, piano lessons, acting classes – and my parents always embraced and pushed my artistic side. So as I was growing up I was naturally attracted to it.
NN:
Being a model, recording artist, influencer and businesswoman, which role defines you the best?
CA:
Businesswoman.
NN:
Your daily fitness routine looks like?
CA:
I go hiking 4-5 times a week, and to the gym 2-3 times a week.
NN:
A healthy breakfast for you should include? And what do you like to treat yourself with on weekends?
CA:
My breakfast is the least healthy meal of my day, actually – waffles with caramel syrup and orange juice. Then the rest of my day is organic, healthy meals. Usually one protein, vegetables and one carb. I really don’t have a day or weekends for cheat meals. I feel like I have a healthy relationship with food. I don’t “diet.” If I want to eat pizza on a Monday, I go for it. You need to find a balance.
