Luckily, everyone that I've collaborated with, everyone that has been willing to offer guidance and advice, they've all been dope people.

Music

My Soul

All of the songs on 'Kiddo' were a part of my soul; they're songs that I could never give away.

Home
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'd get out at school at 3:00 P.M., show up to dance practice at 6:30 P.M., practice for three hours till 9:00 P.M., get home at midnight, and try to do whatever homework I could before getting back up for 7:00 A.M. But I did it because I liked dancing, and I loved the music.

Night
|
Nov 07, 2020

I ended up moving to Miami and bartending, but the party atmosphere is a black hole down there. People party all the time, and if you're working in the industry, you're sleeping all day and at the club all night, day after day.

God

Love

I love being in the woods, when I can just walk barefoot in the grass and just sit down and breathe. I love that so much.

Battle
|
Nov 07, 2020

The EP is called 'Kiddo' because this has been an uphill battle for me. As a female in the industry, as a female of colour, some people will demean me. So it's like, 'OK, you wanna call me kiddo? I'll show you kiddo.'

Grateful
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel like I'm really grateful that my parents chose Canada, and I feel like there's open arms here, and it's very apparent.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

Honestly, the angrier I am, the looser my tongue is... when I get angry, it's just a motor mouth, and it just goes off, which is great, but it doesn't really work unless I'm very, very passionate about what I'm talking about.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think about legacy, of course. I don't want to make my life nothing. I want to know that I died and made a massive difference. I want to know that my life purpose was bigger than myself, and I want to pay forward because the amount of people that have helped me... the list of people that have contributed to where I am now is insane.

Legend
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think of legacy: I want plaques on the wall. I want a farm for my dad. I want an orphanage, preferably two, named after my mother. I want to positively and tangibly help the lives of millions of people and die a legend.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

My thought process is I have been lied to so much by people who I thought I could trust that it motivates me to want to be as honest as possible, to project that energy, because that is how I want people to treat me.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

You just need to create and be open with that energy. The second that you are precious with it, it's almost like you showing the world you have a limited amount.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've been debating with people over what an album actually means in 2018. Certain artists who have paid their dues and proven themselves have almost the privilege to put out a full length album.

First Time
|
Nov 07, 2020

The first time I went crowd surfing was heaven.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

Amy Winehouse affected my life tremendously. I think maybe she was the first sense of intimacy that I had with a complete stranger, musically speaking.

Nothing

Dope
|
Nov 07, 2020

First time I met Kehlani was through Jahaan Sweet - a really dope producer; then we linked up in Toronto, and the vibe was just lit. She's a really warm human being.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

To be honest with you, the fact that people vibe with my music is just a really positive byproduct of something that is just a reflex to me. The fact that people even care to listen means a lot to me.

Happy
|
Nov 07, 2020

If you consume something that's poisonous, you don't consciously think of vomiting; your body just does it. It's a reflex. When I'm happy, I don't instantly feel the need to get rid of that feeling. But when I'm sad, I think maybe that's what happens.

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm a fan of leaving people hungry; I don't like leaving people satisfied.

|
Nov 07, 2020

Life

Parents
|
Nov 07, 2020

I have really dope parents.

Nov 07, 2020

I was very small when I started making music. I think the first song might have been when I was, like, in grade one, maybe? It was really ironic, cause it was a kid talking about taking time with growing up.

Nov 07, 2020

Fear is a real thing.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel like humans, when you're faced with decisions, you can go up and down: duality.

Money
|
Nov 07, 2020

If you're serious about your music, there's this thing called The Remix Project in Toronto, and it's an art incubator, and it's basically like free school. If you don't got money for studio, you don't have the networks, they help you.

Heart
|
Nov 07, 2020

I feel like my objective in music is to take a hammer and nail and chip away a piece of my heart and give it to someone, so I feel, with merch, it's a tangible parallel of that.

Nov 07, 2020

I'm very meticulous.

Big
|
Nov 07, 2020

Memories
|
Nov 07, 2020

My earliest memories have to do with music.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

I remember going to audition in Toronto for a girl group. I was 15 or 16. I went in with my guitar. I had the wickedest nerves, man! I was decent, but not good enough.

Person
|
Nov 07, 2020

Kali Uchis is a dope person. Her voice, her style - she's so unique.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I sing in Spanish, my tone is different. I feel more relaxed because that's how I speak to my family.

Normal
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I went to school, I didn't know a lick of English, but it was okay because there were so many immigrants in the area, a lot of the kids didn't speak a lick of English, either. It was normal to have a wicked accent.

Hard
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's hard to get someone to sit down and listen to an album in its entirety.

My Own
|
Nov 07, 2020

Heart
|
Nov 07, 2020

Someone can be miles away, but if they're in your heart, that means they're locked in your head, too.

Flowers
|
Nov 07, 2020

I remember being in the States a few years ago, and when I said I was from Toronto, it doesn't really make a difference. Now you say you're from Toronto, and people want to talk to you a little longer. Drake's putting on and bringing a lot of eyes to the city, but I feel like the seed and the flowers have always been here.

Cool
|
Nov 07, 2020

Canada has this really cool way - specifically Toronto - of encouraging you to wave both flags: if you've been born there, like, wave your flag and then wave your parent's flag, too, and be proud of it.

Music
|
Nov 07, 2020

Some people's parents listened to the Beatles... but my family is Alquimia, Celia Cruz, and Carlos Vives - this old, rich Colombian music. I loved hearing that while I was growing up.

Language
|
Nov 07, 2020

Spanish is my first language.

Home
|
Nov 07, 2020

When you come from an immigrant home, you're in a whole different world until you leave your house. In my teenage years, I had to learn to switch cultures the second I left my house and, when I came back, to go back to my fundamentals.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

To be blunt, I feel like lyricism in Spanish is of a different quality than English. You can get really poetic in Spanish, but I feel like if you do that in English, you risk sounding cheesy. In Spanish, it's never that. It's always this deep, passionate, beautiful imagery; it's painted different, a different color.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I want to be remembered for doing something bigger than myself and making a positive impact on the world. I want to make my life worth something and to die a legend and to make my family proud.

Guitar

Hate

Much
|
Nov 07, 2020

Frank Ocean - I have so much respect for him.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't know how other people have a topic or have a goal when making a song, like, 'Let's write about this, or let's write about that.' It's kind of difficult for me. Personally, I like vibing out and freestyling.

Lost
|
Nov 07, 2020

The second you're not honest with yourself, you've lost everything.

Everyone
|
Nov 07, 2020

At Afropunk, everyone can be themselves, and I think that's beautiful.

Pretend
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'll never pretend to be I'm something I'm not.

Dad

Men
|
Nov 07, 2020

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Me personally, I have a small circle. Part of that is because sometimes, you meet people, and you can feel the synthetic energy.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

The power's in the people, more so because we have platforms that we can control, like Instagram, Twitter, Soundcloud, where we can deliver straight. If you're building a fanbase, it's in your hands; it's not monopoly. You can do it.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

There are things I still criticize myself heavy for. There are days I have to pick myself back up, but that, to me, is success; it's getting to both sides: physical and the spiritual, mental. Just peace. Peace of mind.
