I'm Always Thinking About That Young Girl Or Young Boy Who Doesn't Quite Know If Their Music, Their Messaging, Their Imaging, Their Voice Is Going To Pop, If People Are Going To Understand Them.

When I Got Into The Music Industry, I Wasn't Focused On Being The Most Famous Artist Or Even Getting A Major Record Deal. It Was Just To Make Music On My Own Terms Or Create My Own Image, Do My Own Hair, Do My Own Makeup.
