Look

Music

Never

Nov 07, 2020

Over the years, I was never really driven to become a solo artist, but I was curious to find out who I was as an individual creative person. It's taken some time, but now I feel I've truly paid my dues. I guess I'm at a point now where I'm more comfortable in my own skin.

Future

Nov 07, 2020

Men

Fight
|
Nov 07, 2020

We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection, support, justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

If people like your music, you can't guarantee they're going to love you.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020
