I actually was a ballet dancer - I studied ballet from three until 13 - but like very seriously, that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a contemporary ballet dancer. I wanted to go to Juilliard.

The album ['A Seat at the Table'] really feels like storytelling for us all and our family and our lineage.

I think the thing about what I want to achieve for the label is it to really be a home for artists who are already developed, who already have a great sense of their artistry or their imaging, who don't really feel or want that marketing push.

As an artist, everybody has the opportunity to celebrate and speak their truth.

I have to learn how to say no a lot. Life is too short for anything else.

I'm a fan of hip-hop and I love it, I by no means am an expert on it.

You get educated by traveling.
