All music now is influenced by Hip Hop. It's so deeply ingrained in the culture.

I soak up personalities and energy. I can identify with anything because truthfully everything that makes up the world is characterized in some way in my family I feel, so my empathy is strong for mankind in general.

I'm reminded everyday that I was born to do great things, I believe that and when it's my time I shall.

I come from a huge family and out of all 34 of my immediate family members, my heavier influences were women. Between my grandmothers, aunts, older female cousins, and of course my mother, I was pretty much predominantly raised by women, as they make up most of my family anyway.

You're sort of forced to include this aspect of culture into your life whether it be for social reasons or business purposes.

It's always funny to me when people meet me. They really think I'm from the East coast off top. When they get to talkin' to me, they go "Oh no, she's sooooo Southern"

All of my friends are independent in thought, that's important.
