I was 17, still in school, and my manager saw me in school, and then we hooked up, and after that, I went straight into making music.

I don't always have to be on what is the newest in music is. I'm slowly educating myself in music. For me, I feel more free in not knowing everything in what I'm doing. You can start making up too many rules for yourself. It should just be love and fun and feeling good.

I'd love to do a live album, like a little bit old school but still progressive, influenced maybe by more electronic music. I like everything, but I don't know anything about music. So it comes in to a lot of different ingredients. I love hip hop.

I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, which has probably informed the way that I sing on my tracks.

I stumbled into soul music at a very young age. It had something that really spoke to me.

I was brought up with a lot of love in my family, and I've always been supported. My family has always protected me in a sort of manic way.
