I'm hoping that what I am or what I'm not ethnically doesn't limit me in anyone else's eyes. I guarantee you it doesn't in mine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Whatever your ethnicity is, in this life you are going to be on a journey to discover who you are and how you feel about yourself.
When people first meet me, they're always like, 'What are you?' as far as ethnicity. And I've been pegged as 'ethnically ambiguous.'
It's important for me to think I'm mixed-race.
I myself am mixed race - my mother is Korean, and my father is an American Jew - so I've always felt other.
The race is your face. Obviously, I come from a mixed background. Who I am and how I look and being black.
Sometimes my ethnicity is relevant, other times not. I definitely get the best of both worlds.
I see how people look at me, all around the world. They see something because of the race I belong to. I have to understand that and put it into my music.
I wish everybody was just ethnically ambiguous. It would make life a lot easier.
My parents raised me to not ever look at race or color, so it doesn't have a big part in my self-identity.
My features are completely ethnic.
