At a label, you are confined to the team you have, but I did all my solo work myself, and that makes you more agile and able to go into weirder corners.

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.

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.

I have been doing choreography my whole life, and it's so important to make that marriage between music and the body.

I've only covered a few songs because I feel that if you're not going to go beyond the original artist in some way, then don't disrespect what they created.

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