“It’s cool to go into the simplicity of fashion, but I’m a very colorful person.”

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.

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

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

I was working three jobs and going to school full time. I was really unhappy and I told myself, You are not this girl. This sounds corny but I would tell myself, You are an Icy Girl. I’m a confident person, but that was the first time I experienced insecurity and low self-esteem.

I just like really expensive things.

I’m normally getting glammed for my events and when I can give my skin a break, I do.

A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.

I haven’t been a gay activist. I haven’t protested for gay rights or none of that, but one thing I can say is that a lot of the designers I wear are gay and I like their clothes.

I see myself as a true modernist. Even when I do a traditional gown, I give it a modern twist. I go to the past for research. I need to know what came before so I can break the rules.

Don’t be afraid to take time to learn. It’s good to work for other people. I worked for others for 20 years. They paid me to learn.
