I wanted to try something different. Most people my age go off to college; I thought I'd try out New York.

There's people trying to tell me what to do, but I'm not like some marketing scam.

I hate when people call me a socialite because you have to have money to be a socialite, which I don't have.

Because of social media, a lot of people think they can be, like, a rapper or a singer or a musician because they can put something on YouTube and it might become a thing because there's - like - YouTube phenomenons and whatnot, you know? It's not like they dedicated years to it or anything. It's annoying.

I didn't grow up in a regular upbringing. I ended up at my grandmother's house past a certain age, so I took care of things myself. I moved out of home when I was 16.

The fashion community has really embraced me, which has been helpful with getting my music out.
