“After I graduated, I didn’t have the resources to go to the studio, which is why I then went to social media.”

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.

I’m a huge fan of hot Cheetos. I used to eat them for breakfast.

I know where I wanna end up. I’m ready to go, and I’m ready to learn. I’m ready to build, and I’m ready to establish my longevity.

I get extensions, but when they start to get spotty, I go buy wispy lashes and cut them up. I put them where the gaps are when I don’t have time to get a fill.

My dream is like a child and I’m taking all the custody.

I make music for people to relate to and to connect with me. I want to tap into different emotions.

I’m the type of person where I’ll take on anything because I like to work so much.

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.

How we grind make the weather change for us.

When you’re a college student interested in music, you hear all these rappers talking about dropping out. For me, when I heard someone like J. Cole rapping about school and staying in school, it inspired me to keep going.

I don’t jump to conclusions I gracefully fall to them.

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 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.

The experiences I go through, everything you hear in my lyrics is real. Good or bad, I take it all in and put it all on the mic.

I am the investment.

With social media, the gatekeepers are our followers. It has opened so many doors for me not only musically, but fashion-wise as well.

There are some things that are meant to have and not just meant to keep.

I don’t compose. I assemble materials.

Always look for these changing technology factors- any market that has a significant change in the underlying raw materials …or enabling factors, is an environment that is about to change in a very significant way.

With the cloud, you don’t own anything. You already signed it away.

A certain amount of contempt for the material employed to express an idea is indispensable to the purest realization of this idea.

Processing the human raw material is naturally more complicated than processing lumber.

She said the object and color in the materials around us actually have a physical effect on us, on how we feel.

Genius is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one, and the man of talent sees two or three, plus the ability to register that multiple perception in the material of his art.
