FAMILY SUPPORT. Ramiele is also very proud about the support she gets from her family.

She said, "If I ever have like a singing gig or whatever in Orlando, in Tampa or whatever, they'll take the day off from work or the weekend off. Then, they'll drive me there. It's a lot of money, you know, gas isn't cheap anymore. They'll just drive me anywhere and take me shopping for clothes.

"And my dad has sacrificed a lot," Ramiele continued. "I'm not like a minor anymore so my parents are not allowed to come, you know, obviously, to the auditions and everything. But he [her father] flew to California during the holiday. We stayed in another hotel and he just came to see me for dinner and stuff. Just like support, you know, because I feel weird my parents are not in the same state."

She went on to say how her sister helped improve her talent.

"My sister is the only person who can tell when I'm off key," revealed Ramiele. "Even though, you know, I can cover it up, she'll make the ugliest face, in the audience. And I'll be like, ‘You're not supposed to do that.' She's like, ‘Well, you sound horrible.' But it's good because she could teach me and I'll get better from them."
