Most people say that Asian or female artists should be sexy in America, but I don’t think that I have to be like that. I have a tomboy style. My choreography is not that way. So, I want to focus on my music style to match the choreography, which is really cool. No girls can dance those moves. I try to make them really fresh.
I was lucky to grow up in the ’90s, when we had just as many strong female artists as male artists. That’s a world I would like to live in again.
I always think it’s a little bit of a challenge when people sort of associate female artists as their own genre.

Not to name names, but a lot of pop female artists you see, they don’t write their own songs. Lot of top male artists and boy band artists, they don’t write their own songs. They’re just a product. They sell, they sell, they sell. They don’t care about musical integrity, any of that kind of stuff.

There’s not a lot of pretty, young female artists that’s out. It’s a lot of talent out there, but they don’t know how to go about it. I feel like there should be way more sexier women in hip-hop and R&B then it is – more originality.
It’s unfortunate that a lot of people think African-American female artists are monolithically R&B this-or-that, don’t have to do anything by default.

I truly believe that diversity is so important, and I hope that I can use my platform to encourage and inspire other aspiring female artists.
