Being from Chicago
And having Jamaican parents
We stayed in a Jamaican community
And I think that affects what I bring
With how I sing
There's this really driven part of me
That I get from my parents
We work really hard
We're not afraid to get our hands dirty
And do our best in what we do
My hometown
Martin, Texas
Was very small
And very country
I'm talking catfish and spaghetti "country"
And I come from such incredibly strong black women
Who were extremely into their faith
And into church
And so
The gospel
The rawness of the sermons
And just that whole church element
Like it's like in me
I can't fight it
I can't hide it
I've tried
But the church gon' come out
Washington
The Pacific Northwest is just so gorgeous
You're just surrounded by life
You're surrounded by green trees
And mountains
And rivers
And lakes
And people who genuinely seem to appreciate
Their environment
And it's an Art's town
You know
I'm just like this bang-a-rang mish mash of all of this stuff
Just all of this information
