“It’s important for women to have each other’s backs. I’d like my label to give women the resources they need to flourish.”

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.

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.

So many of us need so much less than we have, especially when so many of us are in need.

Who you want and who you need and sometimes two different people.

You just need a few more no’s in the day.

You don’t need everyone but just the few that will stick with you at all times.

If you want the best out of your hard work, you need to take some rest in between that journey.

Even as you make progress, you need the discipline to keep from backtracking and sabotaging the success as it’s happening.

The kindness of some soul is what a broken heart needs.

Less need & comparison is less stress and more joy.
