News For People: How would you describe your music?

Just like I said, the sweet and street style she had really inspired me because it was so authentically her and I'm so big on being myself and loving myself but also my mom. My mom was a big influence to me and really wanted me to peruse or offer me to do big in general.

It's definitely got me something hype to do after her. It was definitely different. It was a really big crowd in the club scene. I've never done that before. It's definitely a cool experience forsure.

K. Michelle's show was amazing as well. I've never performed in front of so many people by myself before. It definitely was motivation and it made me wanna keep going so I can just do that for the rest of my life.

I feel like the moment I realize it was happening, like my release parties, and the ep alone which was amazing, it was just a huge moment for me because it was like wow this is what I worked for and it was definitely an amazing experience.
