Courtesy of their upbringing, Righi had already started dancing and singing at three and had learned to play piano at five.

And to top it off, their creative backgrounds — her dad was a musician and her mom was a dancer — influenced Righi to have a liking towards the arts.

The Sydney To The Max actress shared about her parent's support in an interview with Pop Culturalist in May 2020. She mentioned that her family inspires her and acts as her support system. She also added, 

They’ve also helped me pursue what I wanted to do and what I love. That helps inspire me and keeps me going with what I’m doing.

Saying that Righi is making her parents proud would be an understatement. She already knows the value of perseverance, hard work, and making the best out of every second at teenage. 

The Santa Cruz native utilized the self-isolating period during the current coronavirus pandemic and wrote her songs.
