I was always into pop music, Destiny's Child, songs with catchy music. Even when I was writing when I was younger, it wasn't all about expressing myself; it was just about making fun music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always written songs, even when I wasn't doing anything with my personal life in music.
I was always into music. I think everyone is when they're a teenager, as a way to drown out the world.
I started playing guitar and writing songs when I was 15. I think what mainly sparked my interest was just the fact that I grew up listening to Cheryl King, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor, and was just always inspired by that sort of organic art, and organic songs and just very natural songwriting that came out of some of those artists.
I started writing songs by myself. That always came from whatever I was feeling and being honest about that because I never had any intention of anyone ever hearing them.
When I first started to get into writing, it was via music. I'd generate ideas for songs that would turn into stories, then they'd turn into novels. I was biased toward music.
I'm not just writing songs that are narrating my life, but everyone else around my age because they're super-relatable.
Since I was a child, my whole life has revolved around music. It's often while listening to a song that ideas for my fashion collections formed.
I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.
I've always written songs since I was a kid - always.
At school, I was always daydreaming and fiddling in inkwells, but I had to learn to grow up and become articulate. And doing that was what brought me into writing songs. It's like therapy for me, because it exposes what I'm really thinking.
