Dancing and moving and singing and making music has always made sense to me as a way of being. I didn't know whether it was a viable career path, but I tend to be idealistic.

I don't know much about pop music, and we sample music from all different cultures. I was trained in West African dance, so my sense of rhythm when I move is obviously informed by that, and I obviously sing in Portuguese.

High heels. I respect people who love them; they're just not for me!

I like to wear bodysuits and things that make me feel really active and athletic and also really sensual.
