The next year, she was cast in a lead role on the popular Disney sitcom “Wizards of Wavery Place.”
From there, her stardom was on the rise, and soon, her musical talents were recognized. With her mom as her manager, the young star began to make a name for herself.
Although she had already become successful as a child star, while reflecting on her childhood, the now-grown talent expressed some sorrow. Of her mom’s sacrifices and her accomplishments at a young age, she admitted:
“…Where we’re from, you don’t really leave. So when I started gaining all this success, there was a guilt that came with it. I thought, ‘Do I deserve this?’ ”
