For the most part, my daily attire is comfortable yet fashionable - I guess you can call it tomboyish.
I believe I'm a unicorn. Unicorns are very magical and powerful and strong.
My hair is always going to be purple; that's kind of my thing. It doesn't matter what length I make it, as long as it's purple.
Everyone's a taste-maker.
I definitely look up to Rihanna. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, and she's not afraid of taking risks and trying different things, whether it's fashion or music. She's all about what makes her comfortable.
I would describe my style as sexy, cosy, chic street-wear.
It all started with social media, building a fan base via Tumblr and YouTube, doing covers, and releasing a project with original music. Labels started to peel interest then. It was around the same time I was applying for college.
My hair is purple, and unicorns mean a lot to me. They're unique, rare, majestic, and beautiful, and I think those are some things that I embody. I wasn't always confident, and so once I gained my confidence, I was like, 'I'm a unicorn, and I don't care what anybody says.' My fans are unicorns, too. I like to call them my 'unicorn nation.'
It's kinda hard to date as an artist because you're all over the place, and your significant other may seem jealous, depending on what they're doing.
My family is from Flatbush, but I grew up in Fort Greene-Clinton Hill area.
I shift between Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat probably 250 times a day, which probably isn't healthy, but I'm unfortunately addicted.
Makeup and fashion are a very blatant way of expressing who you are because it's the first thing people see. With music, it's more personal, where people really are trying to get into your head and learn about who you are.
I want to build up the most hype around my album. I wouldn't just throw it away.
When you're arguing with a fool, you're the fool for even going back and forth.
The-Dream was like my diary. I would sit there and talk his ear off about all my guy situations; he would just turn my stories into songs.
I'm trying to make history.
Growing up, it was always a huge battle with my mom to let me color my hair or add extensions.
Everyone that's come into my life, everything that has happened, has been a part of the plan. It's not even about being in the industry or becoming more popular; it's just about growing and outgrowing some people.
My mom never let me dye my hair, and I would beg her every single day. When I was 16, I told her I wanted to dye it purple, and she let me - probably because she never thought I'd actually do it. Then I just stuck with it.
I embrace my darker skin - always have, always will. In addition, I believe black women have always been trailblazers and trendsetters. Acknowledgement or not, we are and always have been beautiful.
