Authenticity is hella important.
I feel like truth resonates, and you can taste when something is synthetic.
The key to having something beautiful is being able to convey a normal human emotion but say it in a way that's never been said.
I struggle with insecurities. I struggle with forgiveness. I struggle with letting someone go that did me dirty without vengeance, which is an evil thing.
I know I'm grown, but there's a part of me who will eternally be six years old.
Luckily, everyone that I've collaborated with, everyone that has been willing to offer guidance and advice, they've all been dope people.
I purposely try to make my music cinematic. I try to inspire visuals even though I'm only an instrument of sound.
I'd get out at school at 3:00 P.M., show up to dance practice at 6:30 P.M., practice for three hours till 9:00 P.M., get home at midnight, and try to do whatever homework I could before getting back up for 7:00 A.M. But I did it because I liked dancing, and I loved the music.
I ended up moving to Miami and bartending, but the party atmosphere is a black hole down there. People party all the time, and if you're working in the industry, you're sleeping all day and at the club all night, day after day.
I'm appreciating every single bit of success I get, no matter how small.
Ugh, I'm a Gemini!
I'm proud of the fact that I can just focus on the bullseye and go. Thank God, I don't have to worry about distractions or veering off course because my focus is very defined. I'm proud of that.
I'm sensitive. I'm proud of being sensitive. I'm proud of being empathetic.
I love soul music.
The EP is called 'Kiddo' because this has been an uphill battle for me. As a female in the industry, as a female of colour, some people will demean me. So it's like, 'OK, you wanna call me kiddo? I'll show you kiddo.'
I feel like I'm really grateful that my parents chose Canada, and I feel like there's open arms here, and it's very apparent.
Honestly, the angrier I am, the looser my tongue is... when I get angry, it's just a motor mouth, and it just goes off, which is great, but it doesn't really work unless I'm very, very passionate about what I'm talking about.
My thought process is I have been lied to so much by people who I thought I could trust that it motivates me to want to be as honest as possible, to project that energy, because that is how I want people to treat me.
You just need to create and be open with that energy. The second that you are precious with it, it's almost like you showing the world you have a limited amount.
I've been debating with people over what an album actually means in 2018. Certain artists who have paid their dues and proven themselves have almost the privilege to put out a full length album.
