- Makeup
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's hard to consider myself one when a lot of my fans and people who are calling me a role model are people my age and sometimes older than me. I feel like they're at the same walk of life that I'm in right now, and they can probably teach me things about life, too.
- Grow

- Nov 07, 2020
I actually didn't grow up watching 'Degrassi,' but I saw the commercials and knew the characters. I didn't realize that Drake was the guy from 'Degrassi.' I had to piece it together and go, 'Oh! He's Aubrey Graham.'

I don't really think I got the full high school experience, only because when I got to high school for the first year, it was grades 9-10. We didn't have older grades. But besides that, it was normal. It was a regular public school. We didn't have much going on. It wasn't too crazy.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The fact that there's people out there that care about what I'm eating for breakfast or care about a tweet that I posted in 2012 that they pulled up because they were searching on my Twitter and things like that - it's hard to understand, because it's just me, and I just think, 'What's so interesting about me?'
- Here

I'm here to make music; I'm not here be a fashion model.

- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do feel pressure from the outside world a little bit just because everybody wants new music, which is really nice. It just proves that everybody likes what I'm doing. But at the same time, I feel like it's important to just chill and experience things and really make the songs true to me.
- Hard Work
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're from an unknown place, I think it's hard for you to believe it's possible. You think you have to go to L.A. or New York to make it, but I don't think that's true. I'm glad to be an example that you can make it from where you are. All you need is talent and hard work.

- Artist
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Other than the 'Sesame Street' soundtrack, which I was obsessed with, the first artist I really felt I'd discovered on my own was Amy Winehouse. She was the first female artist I wanted to write like and sing like and be like.

I was always so scared to sing in front of people. That was kind of my weird thing.

- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not extremely outgoing, but I'm average, I think. When people meet me they'll say, 'Oh you're not that shy...' I never said I was! I see where they're coming from because my biggest single was about being shy at a party - I get it. But it's not 100% accurate.
- Living
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In second grade, I told a bunch of kids there was a homeless person living between the portable classrooms outside our school. It caused panic, and the principal had to announce on the P.A. system that no one was living there. I pretended I didn't know who started the rumor.
- Music
- |

- |

- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I guess people don't think that young girls or young artists have opinions, but I'm so glad that there's artists like Lorde and Raury and Kehlani because they're showing other people that young people can have an opinion and a voice and do really well with it. I'm glad I can be one of those people.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can do anything and be a star. You can dress like however you want, and you can do whatever you want. If you wanna wear meat suits like Lady Gaga, good. She's freaking amazing!

- |

- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that my music is really empowering. I just want people to know - especially young people, but really everyone - that you don't have to be so caught up in what everyone else is thinking. You don't have to be the coolest, most popular person. You can just be you and be vulnerable.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was always told that music isn't a 'realistic' path to take, and like a normal human being, I doubted myself over and over because I was afraid of failure.
- First Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
YouTube is my first love.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always told myself that if I was going to be given a voice, I might as well say something worth listening to and not something that's just going to feed people stupidity.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was too shy to do any vocal lessons or go to choirs; I just didn't want to be seen doing it. It's something that I kept to myself. I started easing into it, and I started doing talent shows, and YouTube really helped with that, too.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't want to have one hit, one song of the summer, and then have me disappear forever. I really want my things to last, and I want my songs and my bodies of work to resonate with people. I want to hit people - at least make a dent in them. I want to make a mark somehow.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Body image is something that girls struggle with every day, and it's something that I struggle with every day.

Everywhere I go, every city, they're always like, 'What's in the water in Canada? What's in the water in Toronto?'
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I barely have time to think. But the best way to stay grounded is to take it one day at a time.
- Family And Friends
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We all act like we know everything in life, but nobody really does. That's what I want people to realize. For me, I know that I'm the same person. Nothing has changed. My family and friends know that.
- Evil
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Cats are evil, and they hate me.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |

As a young girl, I'm always going to have to work a bit harder to prove myself; that's just reality. But having to work harder makes me feel like girls are stronger, too.
- Ocean
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Frank Ocean would be incredible; I'd love to be a sponge and absorb everything he says. Every song he puts out, I'm like, 'Why didn't I think of this?'
- Late
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In late elementary school, early high school, I started losing my hair in chunks in the shower. It was one of the scariest things. It got to the point where it was visibly gone.

- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All I'm really good at is making music and singing and doing this. I'm not good at fashion, so I don't see a point in trying to be good at that.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's important to show that there's different ways of doing things. Some people like to be glamorous, and that's perfectly fine, and that's amazing. If I were that style, then I would do that. I'd wear heels every day, and I'd strut around in a dress, but that's not me.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It took me a while to really believe in myself or feel determined about it, but then once I realized that it's possible for anyone, and these people who are singers started off very normal... I realized that it was not that hard to do.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just want to keep my normal life for as long as possible.
- Care
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's not that I don't care how I look, but I'd rather turn the attention to the music as much as possible.
- Matter
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't put the focus on things that don't matter.
- Judge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Talent is talent, but fashion is separate, and it shouldn't be used to judge me as a singer.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That's all I ever wanted to do: put out music from the heart that people could relate to.
- Remember
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember making a 'thank you' video when one of my videos got to 50 views!
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Often, as teens, we think we know everything, but actually we're just trying to figure life out, and we don't know much at all.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I really want to speak for young women, especially because I feel like we're constantly brainwashed in everyday life.
- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never hosted a party in my life, not even my own birthday party. I'd feel really uncomfortable saying, 'Hey everybody, let's celebrate me!' But I'm not antisocial. I don't hate people.
- Per
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm definitely not a supermodel, a thousand per cent.
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm unpolished, I guess.
- Boring
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had a fairly regular childhood. I was a pretty boring kid. I didn't do much. I was always thinking, but I didn't really say a lot.
- Personality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was one of those weird kids who didn't really speak or smile. I remember my teachers would call home and ask if everything was fine at home because I would never smile. Then I got into this phase, from maybe fourth to eighth grade, where my personality just did a 180.
- Dad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Both my parents are Italian. My mom was born and raised in Italy. My dad was born in Canada, but then they moved to Italy.
- Mom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm really in touch with my Italian roots. My mom's whole side of the family is there.
- Media
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For some reason, I'm constantly attacked on social media in terms of how I dress. I've never understood that. That's been very hard.
- Flaws
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a female and someone who's young, I'm still coming into my own, and I still have struggles. I know how I look; I know what my flaws are - I don't need anybody to tell me that.
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the world is very closed-minded sometimes and very dated. We need to start opening our minds.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My family is from the south of Italy in this little place called Calabria. It's a big part of my family, the Italian culture. I grew up around it. My parents speak Italian, and I speak Italian.
