The 20-year-old Vaid is enrolled in college right now, but she’s also taking some online classes so she can focus on her music. She’s living with her parents and describes herself as “a stay-at-home kind of person.” She loves spending time with her parents and her little sister who’s 18, and her two little brothers who are 14 and 11. American Idol premieres Wednesday, January 6, at 8pm on FOX.
