Growing up in Houston, the music scene is super boring.

Or maybe memories are like karaoke - where you realize up on the stage, with all those lyrics scrawling across the screen's bottom, and with everybody clapping at you, that you didn't even know the lyrics to your all-time favourite song. Only afterwards, when someone else is up on stage humiliating themselves amid the clapping and laughing, do you realize that what you liked most about your favourite song was precisely your ignorance of its full meaning - and you read more into it than maybe existed in the first place. I think it's better not to know the lyrics to your life.

I was a super tomboy growing up.

I was a fan of T-Pain's music growing up. I bought 'Epiphany' and 'Rappa Ternt Sanga.'

Mariah and Whitney Houston were my goddesses growing up.

It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.
