My videos represent the artist in me very well, but not the kind of woman I am.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I view myself as a male artist.
Compared to a lot of artists, I'm usually quite covered up in videos and photo shoots.
Frankly, I get sick of being considered a 'young woman filmmaker' rather than an individual artist, as a man would be.
For a while, I was nervous about portraying women because of the objectification that automatically comes with it, whether the artist intends or not.
We throw at female artists this expectation that their work has to speak to the female experience. And if it doesn't, you're letting the side down. Throwing this stumbling block in the way of female artists is counterintuitive.
I don't think you should categorize yourself as an artist.
When I am having my picture taken, I channel Beyonce. In the studio, my inspiration is Adele.
I don't feel there are enough women artists out there who are saying anything of tremendous relevance.
Videos have to go hand in hand with your music, so that's why, ultimately, they should be created by the artist. And if they're not, it doesn't really add up to me.
I don't have a beef with any female artist.
