Chinese restaurants have long been a weekly or monthly ritual for many Americans.

Let your heart beat for music. Don't be a DJ for the wrong reasons, do it because you have a passion for it.

I'm always open to questions asked, and it will be up to me at that moment to decide if I want to answer or not. I've always been the kind of artist that wanted to focus so much more on the music than all these other things. For example, "what does it feel like to be a female in a male dominated industry"?

Don't lose faith in what you are trying to do, even though you will get pummeled emotionally left and right. There are a lot of "nos" to any "yes." And that's OK.
