Soul music is true to its name. It's music that connects to your soul, your spirit. When music resonates with people's spirit like that, when people can emotionally connect with something or it helps to heal them, transform them, that never goes out of style. People will always need something to relate to.

I really like jazz and soul, but I also love so many other types of music, and I didn't want to be afraid to blend and experiment.

I like the Victory rolls, beehive, pompadour - all of that stuff. It's just cool. And actually, with ethnic hair, oddly enough, it works so well because I don't have to tease my hair to get body.

I'm a hip-hop fan, and I'm a Southern Cali girl.

I decided to see how my voice sounds on different type of records. So I did Eminem and the Biggie, Florence and the Machine, and Muse covers. A couple of them just came from some jam sessions between me and my sister in her bedroom at my father's house in San Diego.

No matter how dark or precarious it may seem, continue to pursue your truth.

At my shows, I like everyone to have a good time... but, I like for us to be real because there's freedom in that.

I feel like fear is a very real thing, a very ubiquitous thing, and it can be very subtle.

My family wasn't in the music business, but they loved music.
