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 afraidbeatboxingcool share on social

The thing that can get kind of annoying is, when you travel so much, how hectic it gets. I was being interviewed once - it was a phone interview - and they said, 'Where are you right now?' and I didn't know where I was. Manika annoyhecticinterview share on social

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 adventureanimalaspca share on social

When I'm on stage, it's like a different world ... me connecting with the audience. It's a surreal experience. Manika audienceconnectexperience Change image and share on social
I just love to dance. Pretty much every night, I'll just turn on the radio in my room and dance like crazy. Manika crazydancelove Change image and share on social
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 afraidalanisamaze share on social
