I feel like I don't really care about impressing other people. I thoroughly enjoy impressing myself.

I went from broke and homeless sleeping on couches. Couldn't even figure out what I was doing in Los Angeles. Now, I'm paying my own bills. I'm about to move my mama in with me at 19. I'm on tour now, and this is all off of one mixtape.

From Kehlani

Success to me is only two things: happiness and stability.

From Kehlani

If my eyebrows are cool, if my eyeliner is popping, if I'm moisturized, then I can pretty much wear whatever I want. I think if your hair and your face are together, I think it's pretty much polished!

From Kehlani

I've always been a very young person with a very old soul.

From Kehlani

There's girls that grew up like me and even worse, and they need to know that there is someone out there that can give them hope with my music. It's about inspiring people and helping people.

From Kehlani

My pops passed when I was little. I didn't have a dad around to tell me certain things. I didn't have my biological mother.

From Kehlani

Stardom is a crazy thought. If that's what my path is, then that's where I'm excited to be headed towards.

From Kehlani

I was in art school, and we had all these random classes. We'd listen to a lot of Bollywood. I'd listen to Spanish music - and I don't even speak Spanish, but Hector Lavoe is amazing - we listened to French music like Edith Piaf. She's tight. I like cool vocal inflections; I like cool sounds. I pretty much listen to anything I think is good.

From Kehlani

My biggest role model right now is Beyonce, just 'cause she is a very, very strong, powerful woman, and that's obviously the number one reason to be inspired by her. She is just killing every game there is to kill.
