It's the love you have for yourself that's most important.

It's really important that my lyrics are truthful.

Well, I like shopping.

I suppose I see myself as a modern soul artist.

Women who have strong identities, who know themselves, really inspire me.

Sometimes on stage I prefer to feel more glamorous, so I'll go all out when it's a stage outfit like sparkly, colorful, and have a certain shape. If someone is watching it from far away they can maybe remember the shape or the color.

I love the music of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu and more recently the music of Laura Marling. All these women share a strength and a wisdom in their voices and music that really makes me want to make music and sing.
