Drake and I have built a relationship, vibing and performing together.

I'm a performer, so when I get to any space, I make it my own for that moment and have fun.

I've always been indie.

I'm always honored to see my music and New Orleans Bounce make its way into mainstream culture.

Gay folks go to church. We pray to the Lord too.

My church people supported me when I made my transition from gospel to bounce and that made it a lot easier.

Everything changed after Katrina. It's a new New Orleans now and I think it's better. It was a wake-up call and it rebuilt and cleaned up the city. It all happened for a reason. I'm now grateful for Katrina.

I grew up in a Baptist church my whole life.

I'm an artist. I'm a gay artist. My preferred identity is, 'any of the sort.' My fans like to identify me as 'she,' but I'm comfortable with who I am, I know who I am and it's all fine with me.

People should be able to do what they want in life and not be judged or put in a box or a category.

My mother was my rock and my inspiration.

Twerking - and it's a lot more than twerking - comes from a long history of music and dance in New Orleans. Twerkin' happen around the world for a long time now, so I'm very excited that it's coming into the public eye, as long as it's respected.

I was on subsidized housing for many years before my financial situation changed. I quickly found myself in a new economic structure and, frankly, knew little about how to handle my money.

I love Red Bull, they support everything that I do. They always support music and they're always pushing music.

I truly believe there needs to be more programs for artists and musicians to teach basic financial literacy and planning. Coming from where I came from, I know that I could have used that kind of assistance.

Housing vouchers are a vital lifeline for many people I know in New Orleans and around the country, including struggling artists.

I'm human, just like everyone else.

When I first started, I was definitely reserved,. I was still trying to find myself.

I basically go with whatever my gut tells me.

Real twerkers can use their knees for support.

Being a big kid, I was kind of fat and chubby, and I got picked on quite a bit.

Being gay and coming up in New Orleans was not easy. At first I was very terrified and very timid.

I loved listening to music around the house with my mom on Saturday mornings when we would clean up.

When I was little I was into gospel music.
