“When 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.”

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’m a healthy eater, but I don’t consider Chick-fil-A fast food.

I 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.

Make-up sex, as treacherous as it can be, becomes this fun and playful thing versus this really intense thing. To me the song feels playful.

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.

My 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

Success to me is only two things: happiness and stability.

I just remember falling in love with the old Chris Brown music, where it was, like, that real R&B, and I love the radio smashes he’s put out since then, but I go back to his older music for that R&B.

There’s girls that grew up like me and even worse, and they need to know that there is someone out there that can give them hope with my music. It’s about inspiring people and helping people.

I ain’t the passenger I’m the pilot.

Choose yourself or lose yourself.

Love is sight, sight is love. Stay where you’re seen, it’s where you’re loved.

I always wanted to date me.

There is nothing I would trade in this world for being a mommy.

Me 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.

I hang out with the right people, my friends that I’ve had since the beginning. We go to the beach, take walks, paint, see our family – just normal things that people who become famous lose sight of.

We are so much more than the sum of parts colors staining us bruises of identity.

The identity that we ascribe to things is only a fictitious one, established by the mind, not a peculiar nature belonging to what we’re talking about.

Cultural identity; warped and changed. Each of you thinks the other is to blame, It’s created this way, yet we all play a role. We could stop it today if we felt the truth in our souls.

The past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.

Being home with two babies has been challenging and fun, while trying to carve out an identity for myself beyond it.

We’re all moving into a new digital world where we are going to have little clone versions of ourselves to represent our identity.

I was born by myself but carry the spirit and blood of my father, mother and my ancestors. So I am really never alone. My identity is through that line.

You have to be willing to go to war with yourself and create a whole new identity.
