So many other sides! I said “let’s do it.” He got this beat, he’s like “wassup with the Mtune beat?” I said “that’s cool!” He beefed it up, we came up with this incredible melody. I want people to see all sides of me, not just the balanced side. Jim will say “let’s go hip-hop, let’s do it like that.” Because I need the upper. I wouldn’t do any project without Jim Beanz. Thank you girl! Me and my brother Jim Beanz, who wrote and produced “What Is Love” for Empire, we have a musical bond. “Juicy” is a bop! Who or what inspired this one? We always had a good bond and connection from Atlanta originally. I was vocal producing all of Polow’s artists from Keri Kilson to Lloyd to El DeBarge to Patti LaBelle, everybody. I wrote on his album when I was out there, but I actually started vocal producing when he was signed to Zone 4 with Polow da Don out here.

My love life is singing, music is my boyfriend. Whatever opportunities presented themselves, I try to be ready for whatever. Bozeman brand, but singing took off first. Whatever the schools offered, I was a part of it. My mom recognized it and made sure I was always in ballet, acting, choir. I’m one of those kids who was very creative and into the arts. Honestly, I’ve always been in performing arts. You aspired to be a singer since you were little, when did acting come into play? Everything started in church, that’s where the roots began. I learned everything as far as performing, connecting with people, soul music. I was raised in the church, one of those kids in church all through the week. I don’t remember when it wasn’t a part of my life. I’m your regular around the way homegirl! I used to go out to Chicago all the time as well. There’s a lot of Southern roots ingrained in me. My family’s from the South originally, they migrated to LA. It felt it like home because of the Southern aspect of it. That’s my second home because Atlanta was so good to me. I give you the side that’s not highlighted as much.Īctually I lived in Atlanta for 4 years, which was amazing.

Very strong black women who gave me such a strong foundation to start on, that I still stand on to this day. I was raised by amazing queens in my family, from my grandma to my mom and my aunties. Of course you hear the negative side, but I’m giving you the other side of the spectrum.

I’m proud of it, so many adventures growing up in the hood. Not many come out of South Central and make it on the other side. I’ll always rep my city because that’s what makes the fabrics of me.

I grew up in the church, very community-oriented. Where do I start? I love South Central, you have so many diamonds in the rough.
