I had to appreciate other things about music, like the writing and the cadence and dealing with producers. I became a student. I wanted to learn the actual idea of what this industry was before I could creatively speak a lot of the things that I wanted to speak.

I'm just being the artist that I would have loved if I was a child.

The same people neglecting and hating are the ones going through issues in their own lives, and they're scared to face that.

I've learned that you only become as creative as you possibly can by staying independent.

It's frustrating when you feel like you have a message to get out and people just judge you regardless.

I always thought music was open to all things.

I grew up in the dance school my mother owned, and I see everything in body shapes, everything visual.
