I love Halloween, and I love spooky stuff. I love horror movies. I love everything creepy, and I've always kind of wanted to do this, just do really dark pop.
I love horror movie soundtracks like 'It Follows' or 'Halloween.'
Growing up, I used to literally run home from school to watch the Dior and Galliano shows online.
Pop music means everything to me. I've been listening to pop since I was kid, running home from school to watch Britney Spears and Spice Girls and Christina Aguilera music videos, and it felt like it was a world to escape to for me personally.
As I was finding my musical style, I found my personal style as well, and moving from Germany to L.A. was part of that, raiding the secondhand stores in L.A. trying out different beauty themes, finding my love for huge lashes and big, long hair extensions.
People started noticing my singing on YouTube, and then I came to L.A., and I lived on a studio couch. I wrote songs every single day with whoever I could write songs with.
I'm just trying to make the kind of music that I'd listen to as a teenager and forget about all my problems.
As a kid, I watched every Madonna documentary and tour. I was obsessed with her - and with any pop star of the '80s.
I love nostalgic pop music. The '80s especially, to me, is the greatest era of songs. I just love the '80s so much.
When I hear heartbreak songs, I always feel like, 'O.K. that's exactly how I feel... I'm not the only person who fell in love like a stupid person.'
Sitting one seat away from Nicki Minaj at Marc Jacobs left me speechless. I couldn't say anything - and that's the first time that's ever happened to me! We locked eyes for a second, but I was too scared to talk to her. She looked incredible, of course.
I really admire Vivienne Westwood because she always done her own thing. She is eccentric but really great at the same time.
I get my inspiration for my songs and the lyrics from experiences in my life, but I'm also very inspired by the Beatles and Cyndi Lauper, as I really like their music.
There's a soft spot in my heart for the color and fantasy of the '80s.
I had this one producer who sent me tracks because he saw my YouTube videos that were popular and got a couple million views.
I would love to work with Drake. I think he's such a pop star, and he's dropping amazing songs.
I think pop music, for me as a kid, I hated school and ran home to watch Britney Spears videos. I just felt like I could forget about the stuff I didn't like about my life and listen to pop music and escape.
I love amazing lyrics paired with amazing melodies.
I'm obsessed with music videos, and I just go on marathons of watching a ton of music videos.
I'm always working with other collaborators.
