The main thing I like to do is have a mix of the '70s glamour and emulate a lot of ladies I love, like, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, Donna Summers. I remember thinking that as a young girl, they were so cool and iconic. I missed that!

I think, more importantly, it's about who is your core team? Who are the people around you that are going to fight for you and make sure that's all protected?

I'm a Gemini and Lucas Goodman is a Leo, so we definitely wanted some duality. We definitely balance each other out in a lot of ways, but we're also very different.

South Africa was something that just kind of hit me.

My mom is one, but there have been performers in my family since as long as we can trace them back, so I think it was kind of inevitable to be artistic and to have a force. We're leaders; we're a family of leaders, so I think it's just part of my genes.

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