Yeah, I'm a Leo.

Yeah, I'm a Leo.

That's my real name. That's not like a gimmick or anything, that's my government name, Tierra Whack.

Everybody's inspiring me to just be me.

I decided I wanted to use my real name 'Tierra Whack' when I decided I wanted to make music my career.

If I can make it through homelessness, I can make it through anything.

I chose art, music, of course fashion, clothes, colors. I'm just expressing what I have inside and bringing it out.

Once I have a wig on, I become a different person. You can't get Tierra back until the wig comes off.

Really, I only listen to like five songs.

I like strawberries, kiwis, and oranges.

I spent a lot of time in my head, but not like caring about what everybody else thought, just literally in my own world.

I have a sick sense of humor. Like, I'm always laughing at my own pain.

Like when I hear a beat, it might make you feel a way, but then it might make me feel a completely different way.

I like to create whatever that pops up in my head, bring whatever idea to life.

The phone started ringing when I dropped 'Whack World.'

I always felt more comfortable doing what I wanted to do. Because at the end of the day, I'll be happy.

You know, I'm willing to dim my light so that somebody else can shine because, like, we all have to find our inner lights, and shine in one world.

I honestly don't have like a person that I wanna work with. I'm just always focused on me, and I'm still trying to figure out my sound and what I wanna do. So I'm never really looking for features or something.

I just surprise myself every day.

Everybody's opening up their own lane and it just makes you feel O.K. to showcase what you've got.
