I feel like I can’t really breathe the same until I release it. People are really going to know me better when they listen to my album. Although I talk to my fans a lot on social media, I’m generally a pretty private person. And you can’t really know the inside of a person’s soul or mind through social media or interviews. You may know my personality, but my dreams, fears, fantasies, and secrets are only in my music. I set out to create a body of work that represents me and one that I could be proud. This album has exceeded my expectations.

Every song that made my album is a song that originated from notes on my phone. It’s really important to me that you can hear my voice as a songwriter through this album because that’s the whole reason I love creating music. I usually write lyrics or titles as notes on my phone and bring them into sessions. “Havana,” “Never Be the Same,” “Questions”… they all started as notes in my phone. I wouldn’t say the album was difficult to write because I’m always writing. I would be writing even if I was unable to make an album. Writing isn’t part of my job or career; but it’s my way of expressing myself and it’s one of the things I love to do most in the world.

I love to collaborate with people who are very different from me, people who show me something new. I’d love to collaborate with Daft Punk someday. And there is a long list of rappers with whom I’d love to collaborate. I worship Nicki Minaj – she’s amazing. Also, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake… I’ve gotta work really hard to get to them, but someday I hope it will happen!
