My biggest advice for girls - and this is something that I wish I could have known when I was younger - is to have thick skin. It's something that you definitely develop when you get older, but when I first started, I was so obsessed with pleasing everybody. I wanted everybody to like me and to like my songs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I won't lie - when you're first bringing out music and you want people to notice, you probably overdo it, especially as a girl.
I'm not a girl who started getting into music and using my femininity to get attention. When I was getting into it, it was all pure skill.
People have mentioned, 'Maybe you should try to be more sexy. Look at how this butt stuff propelled this person to the top of the chart; it's amazing!' And I'm like, 'What if I really want to sing something to people?' I speak my mind. I want to be that person people feel they can listen to.
