People don't care what men wear or how they look. Unfortunately for women, the music industry is very visual and objectifying. The objectification of our bodies and using our bodies to sell things needs to change. A lot of this marketing stuff comes from men, so we definitely need more women behind the scenes.

YouTube was a way for people to hear me and for me to say, "Hey, I can sing this song, I'm not in front of you yet because I'm too shy, but here's how I sound for now."

The fact that people are embracing me so well as a new artist and being taken so seriously is something I'm really surprised by.

With different scenarios and different places, I think it's easier for me to get inspired; I'm seeing different things.

The fact that I'm getting appreciated and praised alone is a crazy moment because I never thought it would happen.

I feel people are seeing me as a true artist rather than a singer, or an entertainer, or a girl who just makes songs.

Stay true to who you are, even though that sounds cliché. It's something that's important - doing what feels right for you.
