Ella Mai

Everyone in L.A. loves sushi, and I don't understand it at all.

I love to color.

As much as heartbreak music might be therapeutic, we all want love and long for that feeling. So if a song can give you that feeling, even without being in love, that's amazing.

I always felt like I could go to my mom and speak to her about anything. We have a great relationship.

A lot of my music is about love. And that, of course, is super relatable.

When you're in love, your heart and your mind are in sync, and everything just feels right. It's a special feeling.

Not everybody gets to wake up and do what they love.

It's been cool to have my name mentioned when people say R&B is on the comeback and I'm the leading person. If you had told me at 16 that I would be that person - you're lying.

It was such a culture shock for me, being plucked from this diverse neighborhood in London into Jamaica Queens. I'm in this new environment, and I had an English accent.

From the end of 2015 to the start of 2016, I was always at the studio with Mustard, just figuring out a sound.

People make careers off of Instagram. So in that sense, it's really good, and you can put yourself out there and be open.

To find out my song made the top 10 was honestly a dream come true. I think it's something that I've dreamed about, and anyone dreams about, their whole life.
