I’m not concerned about the male gaze, the female gaze, or anyone else’s gaze other than myself. I’ve always had a mind of my own. My upbringing in various locations and cultures has influenced the way my mind functions. And despite all these influences, I am still me. I wrote “Like This” when I was 15 – I had nothing to do with writing that song. This shows you what my mentality was like at a young age.

I’m not, and I said to them, “Look at me.” And I ended up doing it. It is because of him that I am here now. It’s because of that 16-year-old girl who didn’t give up and kept moving forward.
I used to do covers [songs] on Instagram. My mother and her friends used to force me to cover up. I uploaded a cover to Instagram – I didn’t even like the video. But something kept telling me to post it and I did. About 6 hours later, [Marvin Records CEO] Don Jazzy arrived. Three days later, they signed me.
