Coming from Haiti and growing up in Brooklyn, there's a lot of European influence when I get dressed up. I wear a lot of fitted suits, elegant cuts; I think it's cool to mash up a lot of different looks.

I was a jazz major in high school, in an all-jazz band. No matter what I do, it features my musical influences.

I think the greatest thing about America is the American Dream.

I'm from the church, my dad was a pastor's kid.
