“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.”

I think, as musicians, our music should be who we are. Sometimes it’s not – it’s someone else’s. All heartfelt music and all honest music, it’s who we are. Of course, our upbringing has everything to do with it.

Focused on fire. Bringing the heat.

I’ve always been a very young person with a very old soul.

Motherhood, building character one day at a time.

My 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.

Sex is biological, but gender is mental.

I 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.

I 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.

We can be your distraction.

I feel like I don’t really care about impressing other people. I thoroughly enjoy impressing myself.

Stardom is a crazy thought. If that’s what my path is, then that’s where I’m excited to be headed towards.

I was seeing the effects of what music can do — how it can be healing and bring people joy, but on the flip side, there was this ugliness. I saw the greed and the He-Mans that were willing to f*ck over children.

It don’t take a whole day to recognize sunshine.

I 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.

My biggest role model right now is Beyonce, just ’cause she is a very, very strong, powerful woman, and that’s obviously the number one reason to be inspired by her. She is just killing every game there is to kill.

I’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.

You should do whatever feels right in your deepest heart. Feel deep as consciousness, open as water, now, and feel how to live with a wide-open heart. Feel how to live as love without bondage.

I wish for my words to make someone feel, I wish for my words to make someone heal.

The problem when someone feels burned out, bored, unchallenged, or stifled by their work is not the job itself but rather the environment and playground rules given to them to do the job at hand.

I hear the rain fall and suddenly I don’t feel so alone because the sky is crying too.

God cannot leave us. It is just that our soul is so vast, we do not always feel His lips upon the veil.

Have you ever felt as you had everything all the love in the world when you were completely alone and only had yourself?

Spiritual practice is the capacity to offer your love even when you feel hurt, closed down, tense, angry, misunderstood, or hated.

While you’ll feel compelled to charge forward it’s often a gentle step back that will reveal to you where you and what you truly seek.
