I'm always doubting because I've been told so much that, you're not the right look or you're not the right sound, and, you know, whether I do jazz or R&B there are always complaints.

I'm known for long colorful locs but I still don't take my hair too seriously. Changing it helps express who I am.

Any success matters to me.

It takes a while to really love yourself...

I've had great people come in my life, meaning not just men, but women, support me and empower me. So that has lifted me to be the woman I am.

I study a lot of the greats; I study the current people out now and what people are listening to now. I don't shun anything away; I just check it all out and make my own judgment.

Tell me I can't so I can show you I CAN!
