“My goal is to get my music out to as many people as possible. That a song of mine is being played on the radio so far away from home really, really pushes me. It’s everything I’ve dreamed of.”

My heart goes out to everyone as we see the end of this year and as we anticipate the new one. We’re in this together.

For a female artist, it takes a lot more to be taken seriously if you’re not sat down at a piano or with a guitar, you know?

It’s all fun and games until your shoe strap falls down.

I think the artists are really the face of the music they make. It’s no longer the genre that dictates it.

I get a bit insecure if I feel like there’s too much makeup on my face or if I feel like I’m cakey.

I’m so obsessed with Cardi B. I do nothing but sit and watch her Instagram videos.

If I wasn’t a singer, I would be a fairy princess.

If you see a fairy tell her I called.

For me, my aim is to just be as good as possible. If people do look up at me I have to set the best example I can.

My gang sign is the love heart.

I’m learning to accept myself. I’m still in the process of learning to love who I am.

Social media can sometimes influence the charts, but I think that only great music makes it to the top. The good songs make it.

I’ll bring you flowers in the pouring rain.

I still take a lot of pride in being able to write my own songs. My story’s coming from me.

Success, to me, is just doing things I’m really proud of.

I love Pink and Nelly Furtado – the honesty and truth in their lyrics. I also love Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper.

There’s a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

I always tell young people to hold on to their dreams. And sometimes you have to stand up for what you think is right even if you have to stand alone.

I want my boys to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities, people’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.

You know what they say, dress your best when you go to bed because you don’t know who you’ll see in your dreams.

It’s like a kind of Barbie American dream. I have that childlike quality so a lot of little girls especially [like me]. I’ve always been a kid at heart. I think I always will be.

I dreamt of being like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho Gaucho.

My dream jobs would be Italian ‘Vogue’ and anything with Chanel!

Big dreams turn into big things.
