Check out the excerpts below.

On issues with her vocals: 

Well last night my voice was completely gone. Right now this is me just being horse. Last night I would open my mouth and nothing was coming out. I was trying to answer questions and nothing come out.

On why her first project was a mixtape:

I didn’t go through the process of like… this is my debut album and planning everything with the record label. It was me just doing everything.

On transitioning to working with a label: 

My label is pretty cool. They really work with me, and support me. They understand me as a person before the artist part. They put me as a person before the artist. They don’t really push me when I feel like I need a break. They let me do my thing and I like them for that.

On loving music and not the fame:

Yeah, I don’t really like that I’m headed there. I don’t think I want to be in that realm. I want to drop an album, go on tour, and then go home. Drop and album go on tour and then go home.

On wanting a normal life:

Yeah, just a regular apartment with my cats and my friends. The scene is a smaller thing in New York and everybody so cool.

On being surprised by the album reviews: 

Yeah, umm I don’t really have expectations for anything in life anymore. So everything is super surprising and awesome. I’m just happy people are listening.

On the writing process for this album:

I wrote like 90 percent of this album. I got some help from Ester Dean on “ Wanna Be”, Starz wrote on “Wanna Be “; Charlie Heat helped on the hook for “Undercover”. But 90 percent of this album is me.

Nick Cannon

On her relationship with Nick Cannon: 

I was part of this group that was a cover band. And we went on America’s Got Talent and met Nick Cannon. He later asked me to be part of a rap group. It wasn’t a bad rap group, it just wasn’t for me and I didn’t fit his vision for it. I left the group and put out my first solo song on Soundcloud. Nick called me and was like I totally get what you’re trying to do now you’re so not a rapper.
