If I could ever be on a Missy Elliott record, I could then die. Missy Elliott, Mary J. Blige - I love hearing them interviewed, I love the way they talk about their art. They're very self-assured, they're funny, they're inviting. I love it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
This is sort of not expected, but I would love to produce a record for Missy Elliott. It would be totally different, but she makes party music. 'Lose Control' was my favorite song when I was in 5th or 6th grade.
Lauryn Hill might have cursed a couple of times in her music, and Missy Elliot definitely just doesn't care. I'm really more inspired by their creativity more so than just the cursing. I'm really impressed by clean music.
I want to have a record with Beyonce or Lady Gaga. They are both my inspirations. Especially Beyonce.
I love Lady Gaga, Rihanna - all the pop girls like Katy Perry. I think Miley Cyrus is very talented, too. Apart from the visuals, which you may like or not like, but her music is quite good, actually. 'Wrecking Ball' is quite a good song, and she sang it really nicely.
If I wanted to do 'The Missing Files of Missy Elliott,' I have probably six albums just sitting there.
I love Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Adele.
I love Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Katy Perry. They are all about being themselves and I love that.
I love James Taylor, Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith and Nine Inch Nails.
I'm overjoyed and honored to become a member of the Hollywood Records family. I've admired the careers they've made and can't wait to see how my musical path is paved out.
I love Katy Perry and Lady GaGa. I think GaGa's pushing the envelope every day and I really like that.
