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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just want to make everybody feel what I'm singing. And just to relate to me and know that this has been dream since I was a little girl. I've worked so hard for this, and I just want them to connect with me.
I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me.
I hope people half my age and twice my age will listen to my music - I want it to live forever and for my audience to feel like they have a friend in my music. Music is a spirit. It heals. It's an amazing thing to be loved and appreciated, and sometimes, music has not just been my best friend, it's been my only friend.
I'd like a male to listen to my music and find it kind of fascinating, what a girl goes through when they get heartbroken or get sad or get hurt by something.
I have learned that music helps a lot of people survive, and they want songs that can give them something - I guess you could call it hope.
You get older, you start meeting girls, you want to impress them. And if you happen to know an instrument, what you do is turn on the radio and try to figure out how to play popular songs.
I've done a lot of growing up since the age of 16 and I really wanted that to be reflected in my music.
There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.
I just play the music that I love with musicians that I respect, and fortunately, I'm in a position where people are willing to play with me, and perhaps I can do something to help them.
It's not my aim to be this, like, 'savior for females.' I just want to make good music.
