My mom is my biggest inspiration by far. She inspires me on a daily basis. I remember hearing her sing around the house, and I was like, 'Mom, you belong on TV. You're a superstar.'
I just love matching sets. Tops and bottoms that are the same color are awesome to me, because you can get them in so many different colors - neon colors.
I feel like we go through different stages of love. When you get a little bit older, love starts to feel different, but you see that love has always been there.
I want to venture out into music education for kids. As a child, I was discouraged by a lack of money, and now I want to use my platform to give back to kids without resources.
I always try to be nice. I never want to be that person that anyone perceives as being rude or disrespectful, 'cause that's not me at all.
I've got to thank the city of El Paso for standing behind me.
I didn't feel like I had a home until I moved to El Paso.
El Paso is where I started. I don't feel like I'd be making the music I'm making now if I hadn't gone there.
The thing about going back to El Paso, it's overwhelming sometimes. I look at the support that I get and the success that I've had, and I can't walk anywhere without being spotted. My hair might be the biggest crime in this situation.
Even though I wasn't born or raised in El Paso, it'll always be a part of me until the day that I die.
I worked hard on making a body of work that takes people on a journey. It was never about making a certain type of song. It was simply about embracing real-life situations.
It wasn't like I was specifically wanting to write songs about technology. It's just what I lived, what I was experiencing growing up.
Art is fluid, and it travels. You have to let music take you where it wants to take you. You can't necessarily be the controller.
I always try to keep my friends within my music. I always play them all of the songs, and they are my biggest critics, and they love it, so that's a good sign.
Kendrick Lamar deserves a Grammy. He's one of the biggest, most influential rappers of my generation.
The first songs I made brought me to the Grammys. I was a five-times nominated teenager off voice memos and songs that were clearly recorded off different mics.
What really keeps me grounded is my fans and the way that I connect with them.
I was in the sixth grade and living in Germany, when I was hanging out late with some friends. I turned around, and there's a dude dressed up as Michael Myers following us all the way home. It was the scariest thing ever, and it always reminds me of Halloween. In my mind, I was so young, so I really thought it was Mike Myers following me home.
I was very confused with where my life was heading, but I knew that whatever I did, music was going to be involved.
A lot of people think teenagers haven't gone through anything in their lives - they're not even 20 years old yet. But a twenty-something can go through the same type of experience or heartbreak that a 50-year-old can go through, so why does age matter?
