I was born into the arts. My mother and grandmother have both performed at Carnegie Hall and the Philharmonic Hall (now Avery Fisher Hall), and they enrolled me in ballet classes when I was 4 years old. I apparently made my first mixtape soon after that on my Fisher-Price cassette recorder, but I don't remember that...
It wasn't until my high school years, when I was listening to musicians like the UK's Dizzee Rascal and M.I.A, that I felt I could actually be a rapper. Unique characters and strange cadences inspired me a ton.
