Sometimes I make songs about girls, and I say ‘he,’ or I’ll make songs about guys, and I say ‘she,’ or sometimes they’re exactly what they’re about. I feel like it just allows me to get a lot more perspective.
KEHLANISometimes I make songs about girls, and I say ‘he,’ or I’ll make songs about guys, and I say ‘she,’ or sometimes they’re exactly what they’re about. I feel like it just allows me to get a lot more perspective.
KEHLANIMy brain kind of works in steps. I have to go through things and then process them and then write about them. I have to understand them first.
KEHLANII went from broke and homeless sleeping on couches. I couldn’t even figure out what I was doing in Los Angeles. Now, I’m paying my own bills. I’m about to move my mama in with me at 19. I’m on tour now, and this is all off of one mixtape.
KEHLANII was writing with my homegirl who’s one of my favorite people to work with. We were just sitting in a studio and I said, I want to be able to talk about sex, but very specific kinds of sex.
KEHLANII really hate finding out people that show love really be talking crazy behind the scenes. Bitch buck up and hate me with your chest.
KEHLANIMy pops passed when I was little. I didn’t have a dad around to tell me certain things. I didn’t have my biological mother.
KEHLANIMe being so open just helps other people. People feel like they know me so much that they can talk to me all of the time about really personal things. Sometimes it’s really nice and comforting. It depends on the person, whether they’re creepy or not.
KEHLANII’m frazzled, but I’m good.
KEHLANII’m at that point where I was able to make a decision on if it was time to follow my goals that are bigger than music, which is service to the community.
KEHLANIWhen you look at me, you can’t really tell what I am, but I’m black, white, Native, Spanish, and a little bit of Filipino.
KEHLANIFocused on fire. Bringing the heat.
KEHLANIYou are anything but conventional, baby, did ya know?
KEHLANIEverybody is on the ‘I’ll cross the bridge when it comes’ conversation. I don’t think anybody truly knows.
KEHLANIMy favorite person that I had been running everything by doesn’t even make music, but he is a genius. It’s Kerby [Jean-Raymond] from Pyer Moss. -Kehlani
KEHLANII think most people don’t know that I really write everything myself. No help. There’s nobody in the studio except for me and the engineer. A lot of people don’t think I’m a singer. They think I’m a rapper.
KEHLANII write most of my songs to beats. I play around on guitar, but not enough to where I can compose my own stuff or play solos. Can accompany myself cause most songs are, like, four chords.
