Life is too short to be scared and not take risks. I'd rather be the person that's like, 'I messed up,' than, 'I wish I did that.'

I like to mix the street look with classy and sexy. I call it 'hood chic.'
Everyone has their own style. It's unique; no one person's style is wrong.
I'm confident in who I am, and I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm just being myself: being comfortable with my body, comfortable with my sound, and I'm figuring out who I am.
Even at my lowest point, when I've wanted to give up, I know that I have to believe in myself because I'm all that I have.
I love to glow, and it's important for me to have a good highlighter to brighten up.
I love jerk chicken. I could literally eat it every single day of my life. I also like curry goat, rice and peas, and ackee and saltfish. For some reason, no one ever taught me how to cook, though. They've always cooked for me!
No one can predict the future, but what I do know is that myself and my team work hard every day to make sure that my vision, my sound, and my brand reach their full potential.
I definitely look up to Rihanna. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, and she's not afraid of taking risks and trying different things, whether it's fashion or music. She's all about what makes her comfortable.
I believe I'm a unicorn. Unicorns are very magical and powerful and strong.
My hair color is super important to my look because I feel like it helps kind of define who I am. It's like a characteristic of mine that makes me feel comfortable and different from the rest.
I'm not just a pretty face. I want to pursue something.
To me, being a black woman and being beautiful are not mutually exclusive.
My style is very spontaneous.
A lot of people love to throw the social climber thing at people who are on the rise, but it's really just God moving all the people that are distractions, all the obstacles, out of the way for me to achieve what I'm destined to achieve.
I'm not going to blurt out my whole life on the Internet and just be all crazy emotional. I'm not that type of person, but it's in my music.
If I'm going to a fancy event, I try to be princess-like.
Jeremih is a dope artist.
Being a part of the Dark and Lovely family is an honor. As a dark and lovely girl, I love what they stand for, and I love that they make products for women of color.
When it comes to dance hall music, I definitely listened to a lot of Vybz Kartel growing up or Gyptian and Mavado.
Growing up, it was always a huge battle with my mom to let me color my hair or add extensions.
I kind of came about at the same time as Instagram, and it becomes, like, your portfolio. When people search who you are, they search Instagram, and I feel like people aren't even using Google anymore.
What inspires me is the relationships and situations I find myself in as I grow and learn.
Who knows, maybe I'll be a basketball player one day? No, I'm definitely never going to be a basketball player. I have no hand-eye coordination.
Before I go to bed, I twist my hair so it doesn't get knotted by morning and cover it with a silk scarf so it stays moisturized. In addition, I tend to wash my hair around once a week or every two weeks, depending on what I'm doing with it.
I have three styles. One is my Hypebeast tomboy look, which is pretty much my everyday look.
My family is from Flatbush, but I grew up in Fort Greene-Clinton Hill area.
I've been through a heartbreak and seen the business side of the music industry. Now I see things clearer.
When the Rocawear team reached out and wanted to make me the face of La Belle Roc, I was super excited!
When it comes to '90s R&B, I grew up on a lot of Aaliyah and Destiny's Child, Missy Elliott, Usher, Jill Scott. Whatever my mom was playing in the house is what I was listening to.
The-Dream was like my diary. I would sit there and talk his ear off about all my guy situations; he would just turn my stories into songs.
My dream collaboration would be to work with Drake. Honestly, he's an amazing songwriter, and I feel like if we got the opportunity to do a song, it would be the most amazing thing to ever hit people's ears.
I never leave anywhere without my watch because it's a very special gift given to me by one of my managers.
I'm a purple girl!
Every time I've been around Beyonce, I get so nervous that I forget how to speak English.
People tend to not post when they're at their worst, but I try to be as open as I can be with my fans.
In terms of style, I'm really inspired by Foxy Brown and Naomi Campbell.
Music says the things that people don't say or are afraid to say, and that's the best part about it for me.
I like L.A., but I'm definitely a Brooklyn girl; I'm a city girl. I need the cars honking. I need the bright lights. I need people yelling in the middle of the night screaming at each other. I need all of that.
When I first started wearing blue lipstick, it was a MAC gloss that they had. Everyone was making fun of me, and I was like, 'Watch - this is going to be cool one day.'
I'm a Virgo, so I'm a super hard lover. I fall in love so quickly!
One time I tried bangs, and people just weren't feeling it at all, but it's my hair. It's my unicorn mane, and it's definitely very important to me. It's also my body, and so I don't really care about other people's opinion of it.
For the most part, my daily attire is comfortable yet fashionable - I guess you can call it tomboyish.
It's kinda hard to date as an artist because you're all over the place, and your significant other may seem jealous, depending on what they're doing.
I've always been a fan of the Dark and Lovely brand. I grew up using their products at home. I only work with brands I believe in, and I'm so happy to be a hair color ambassador.
I'm trying to make history.
I'll always be a Brooklyn girl.
I express myself a lot on Tumblr, especially through my diary entries, but my Instagram is my modeling portfolio. I have my game face on at all times.
Makeup and fashion are a very blatant way of expressing who you are because it's the first thing people see. With music, it's more personal, where people really are trying to get into your head and learn about who you are.
One of the biggest things I struggle with is people's opinions. As much as I would like to say that I don't care, I see those comments. And sometimes it affects you more than others, or may completely change your mood.
