Content is what's super important and people want to see you performing your records. That has a stronger impact.
I like working with people who are passionate about what I'm doing. I'm super passionate about music, so I want to make sure my colleagues and people on my team are the same, as well. I'm a very hands-on artist, so I don't give my work to my team.
Being a woman in a male-dominated industry is difficult at times. I've had people offer to help me, but it's hard to know who to trust.
What I love about my audience is it's extremely diverse as far as the ethnicities and the ages that show up.
I just love seeing my audience live, and I also love to see my peers perform because it inspires me to be a better performer as well.
I'm normally getting glammed for my events and when I can give my skin a break, I do.
I want to encourage the artists that haven't made it that social media is the truth. I made it from Instagram to having a most-added song to radio.
I would describe my music as very honest. I just rap about myself, and not in a narcissistic way. I feel like I have a story to tell.
I don't want to be super serious but I want to have fun with my platform. I want to touch people, I want to be relatable and let girls know that you can go to college and still pursue what you want after that.
People had boxed me in as a 'pretty girl with followers that's rapping,' but I think my project and the work speaks for itself.
I definitely come from a line of strong women. It's not only like my mother and my grandmother, but my aunties too.
With a lot of attention comes criticism, but I'll take that. I'm reaching all the goals I've set for myself, so you can't say anything bad about that.
If you're really listening there are alot of hidden messages in my songs.
I grew up all around the Bay, but I spent most of my time in Hayward and I loved it. It was a really big apartment community, there was a whole bunch of kids.
With social media, the gatekeepers are our followers. It has opened so many doors for me not only musically, but fashion-wise as well.
I'm not really into trends. I do like high fashion. I love my Chanel and my Louis, but I love my Forever 21 too.
I always wanted to bring something new to the table, and make clothes for women where they feel beautiful.
I welcome criticism. I come from a - I wouldn't say mean, but you've got to have tough skin to be in my family.
Freestyling helps me portray the emotion that I'm feeling right there instead of writing it at home and having to add to it.
Something will come to me in the middle of the day, and I'll Voice Note it so I don't forget how I felt when the idea came about. I can hear the feeling I had when I first recorded it.
