“It’s crazy because ‘Icy Girl’ came when I was in a dark place, but I made it to motivate myself. It was kind of like my anthem for lifting up my spirits.”

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.

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

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

In order to be an icon, you need to be bold. How do I define boldness? Stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Don’t miss no meals & mind the business that pays you!

If the public doesn’t receive what you say, people can start to build your brand for you.

Most of all he loved the crazy little kid in her.

Music makes me cry.

I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I’d have a hairy conniption. I’d just go crazy.

I’m not crazy, I’m just not you.

I’m not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.

A loyal chick comes with a smart mouth and crazy attitude.

I was a loner; I was never the crazy party girl.

I can’t be normal. I’m probably bipolar.
