Singing background has always been such a precious thing. I'm always going to be excited to sing behind an artist and learn from them.

Dancers have always been a kind of background image, we've always danced behind an artist or we've danced in a movie behind the actors. We've always been very secondary.

Lauryn Hill's always been a hero of mine. And Bruno Mars, Janelle Monae and Adele, those are the current artists I would reference in terms of who's been able to do really amazing pop records with really cool, organic throwback elements of soul in there as well.

My family background has always been very supportive. They're going to be there for me no matter what.

Learning how to learn is the most precious thing we have in life.

I want to solidify as an artist and show that as I grow as a person and make mistakes and learn from them, I'm going to grow artistically.
