Close your eyes and see what you believe.
When I decided to be a musician I was hoping that it would be one of my contributions in having a positive impact on the world. That's always what I wanted to do.
The difference with a major label and independent is mainly resources. That's the difference that I feel sometimes where I as an artist would have to be more creative and more patient.
I think as artists we have an opportunity to shed light and share different stories and expose different realities and inspire people and give a different perspective.
What I really appreciate about the music that I grew up to is that I feel like I can put it on now and still hear something new. It's still relevant. That's how I want my music to be perceived. It's what I strive for.
Our hair can be a fun outlet for self expression. I love wearing cornrows and getting my hair thread-wrapped because it feels ancient and African.
But I was waiting for some magical moment, that would prove to me, forever would be fine. Meanwhile, my first love was standing first in line.
