Growing up, my dad took me to the opera. ”

Female empowerment is very strong in my life and that's how I am. ”

Oh my gosh, I mean, I've had many experiences of men calling me psycho. ”

I think, personally for me I always work on the next goal and wanna figure out how to achieve it. ”

Like, back in Albania, all my cousins sing, they play the drums, they play guitar, it's like... a thing! ”

So Am I' is about loving yourself, being different, being an outcast and not fitting in the format that society wants to put us in - just celebrating what really makes you different. ”

I always wanna feel comfortable in my clothes. ”

I definitely don't like red carpets. I go on the red carpet because I have to but I'm not a big fan. That's not my thing. I'd rather be in the studio making music and performing. ”

Both my uncles were in bands, my grandpa was a comedian who wore clown makeup on stage. ”
