We have a huge immigration population in Sweden, but when I was younger, I grew up in a small town and, at one point, I was the only foreigner in my class. I really felt different, and I thought I looked different. Sometimes it was a good thing, sometimes I felt insecure.

I'm definitely inspired by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, James Brown, Lauryn Hill.

With this career, it's hard for me to have a day to myself, so when I get them I really appreciate them.

It's been so inspiring to have complete creative control and to just have fun creating and collaborating with people I admire greatly.

I believe things when it comes out 'cause I know how it is - things change all the time.

My heart is always listening to the music I grew up with from the '70s and '80s to early '90s.

I sit a lot with my lyrics - I don't write just to write or put a line in just to have one. Everything has to mean something to me.

I've always been in my own world, even as a young girl. But I fell in love with music because it made me feel something that I can't explain.

I have both Swedish and Iranian cultures ingrained in me, so that's always there. Plus my love of the U.S. began early on. But growing up in Sweden as one of the few people of color around was not easy by any means.

I'm such a spiritual person and in Sweden it's a bit taboo to be too open with your spirituality; they always think it's a bit weird.

I think being in the world of R&B creates a sense of home, and I think it's important to have that sense of home and spirituality within your music.

I've experienced industry politics and... people telling me I'm never going to make it. I'll never listen. I'm doing me.

I think it goes without saying that Logic has a strong and powerful message in his artistic deliveries and has a very beautiful mind. I'm so thrilled to have him be a part of 'Feels.'

With 'Feels,' I was in a really long relationship with somebody, so the songs were about that.

If my music can be part of the soundtrack to your day, that's such an honour.

I've been in situations, when I was younger, when I had people forcing me doing stuff that they don't want to do.

Sometimes I'm very feminine - I wear tight skirts and pumps.
