"People are less willing to listen to electronic music that is made by a Black woman. That’s just fact."

"When I have these pinch me moments, it’s like, ‘wow, I really need to hold on to this, because I don’t know when the next one will be. I suppose it’s harder for me to be taken seriously and rise the ranks.”

"There’s some considerations I would like to get as an artist which I might not be getting right now, since maybe it’s harder to put me into a genre… I’m hitting all these markers and it still feels like I’m getting overlooked, simply because there’s a lot of people that don’t necessarily understand what I represent, nor do they want to take a look because I think it just doesn’t make sense for them."

"Having that person challenging the way a pop star should look or be — which is what I do, unintentionally and sometimes intentionally — it just doesn’t translate to a lot of people."

"All I aim to do is stay authentic and consistent. And occasionally, what I enjoy doing is saying, ‘well actually, I’m gonna prove you wrong, and I’m gonna do this, you are gonna like it.’ And then once you like it, you’re gonna realize: ‘Wait, I don’t know why I never gave her a chance in the first place.’"

f*** the industry fam, get that bag

she made Forbes 30 under 30

I get the idea of feeling overlooked by the critics or awards or whatever, but at the same time, what do they know? most of them are just pretentious people who give praise to their friends or the artists who can pay for it.

I like when anyone has a sort of chip on their shoulder, but lets be forreal. if she ever got that recognition, she would probably realize how fake & hollow the s*** is.
