Confidence isn’t something you just have or you don’t; it’s something that develops. I’ve been confident my entire life but for different reasons. When I was a really young kid, I was super confident because I was very smart. I was a super good student and I liked to have conversations with adults. Then I became an adolescent and I went through puberty and went from being this really ugly, nerdy, smart kid to being someone that people suddenly found attractive after bullying me for my whole childhood—so my new-found confidence was an attractive confidence. [When] I entered the music industry I realized I’m going to work really hard and I’m going to do this and that confidence shifted. Now I walk into a room and I know that I can hold my own with anyone in that room because I run my own business, I’m true to my art, and I’m p r o u d of who I am.
