I'm not just making rhymes and making melodies. I'm expressing my true life force, energy.

I'm still afraid of things, obviously - we're human. But I like that feeling of being afraid.

I'm not just making rhymes and making melodies. I'm expressing my true life force, energy.

I was born in love with music. My mother is a singer, many of my aunts and uncles on my mother's side are musical, my grandparents sang and played blues piano. It's literally in my blood. My mother wrote an original song to teach me the days of the week.

I'm not the average girl from your video and I ain't built like a supermodel but I learned to love myself unconditionally because i am a queen

Anyway, in my performance style, I'm a singer-songwriter. People can call it neo-soul or R&B or whatever. But at the core, when you see me live, I'm a singer-songwriter.

Any time someone is passionate about a cause, it's because they want to heal something inside of themselves.
