If I'm going to a fancy event, I try to be princess-like.

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.

My style is very spontaneous.

Every time I've been around Beyonce, I get so nervous that I forget how to speak English.

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.

Jeremih is a dope artist.

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.

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.

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.

I used to sing SWV's 'Weak' every day when people would ask me to sing.

When I was working on 'Everyday Living,' I was going through a breakup.

Sometimes people won't be able to relate to you if you look like you're straight out of a full blown 'Vogue' magazine every time they see you.

My mom never let me dye my hair, and I would beg her every single day. When I was 16, I told her I wanted to dye it purple, and she let me - probably because she never thought I'd actually do it. Then I just stuck with it.

Drake is a lyrical genius, and he's great with melodies, and Pharrell is an amazing producer and songwriter.

I have three styles. One is my Hypebeast tomboy look, which is pretty much my everyday look.

I've been through a heartbreak and seen the business side of the music industry. Now I see things clearer.

I surrounded myself with a lot of different creative people and ambitious people.

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.

I embrace my darker skin - always have, always will. In addition, I believe black women have always been trailblazers and trendsetters. Acknowledgement or not, we are and always have been beautiful.

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.

When you're in the limelight, you can't always lash out.

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.

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.

Everyone's a taste-maker.

It all started with social media, building a fan base via Tumblr and YouTube, doing covers, and releasing a project with original music. Labels started to peel interest then. It was around the same time I was applying for college.

Music says the things that people don't say or are afraid to say, and that's the best part about it for me.

Everyone that's come into my life, everything that has happened, has been a part of the plan. It's not even about being in the industry or becoming more popular; it's just about growing and outgrowing some people.

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.'

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.

My mom is an entertainment attorney, and she brought me to a BMI panel for people who were interested in becoming artists. While I was there, her friends kept peer pressuring me to go and sing in front of everyone because I was a very, very shy girl.

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.

When you're arguing with a fool, you're the fool for even going back and forth.

I would describe my style as sexy, cosy, chic street-wear.

My hair is purple, and unicorns mean a lot to me. They're unique, rare, majestic, and beautiful, and I think those are some things that I embody. I wasn't always confident, and so once I gained my confidence, I was like, 'I'm a unicorn, and I don't care what anybody says.' My fans are unicorns, too. I like to call them my 'unicorn nation.'

I shift between Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat probably 250 times a day, which probably isn't healthy, but I'm unfortunately addicted.

I want to build up the most hype around my album. I wouldn't just throw it away.

You got to learn when to be the bigger person, especially in the entertainment business.
