Because of the time we're in, it's so easy to just blend all of it together and it's kind of like you're listening to everything all at once.

I definitely listened to Lauryn Hill - her's was like the first album I bought myself. Brandy's Never Say Never and Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill were always in rotation for a couple of years.

Between my mom and dad, I would hear a lot of Earth, Wind, and Fire. My mom loved Chaka Khan, so that was on in the car a lot.

I've always been kind of surrounded by music my whole life, so my earliest memories of it were just hearing it in the house.

I'm always looking for people to feel connected to me and inspired in their own right.

I love to feel that I'm not above anyone.

There are probably still people that are competitive with each other, but I don't feel that's necessary. I like when we lift each other up.
