It wasn’t until I met La Mar, my best friend. And I would get in trouble for it because it was inappropriate at the time. When did you first hear your voice and know that it was special? I used to get penalized for singing when I was younger, because I always wanted to sing. Especially R&B, which is a genre that is heavily influenced by how the artist looks. And I felt like it was the most unbiased reaction you can get to the music, because you couldn’t put a face to it. With House of Balloons, nobody knew what I looked like.
Maybe there is a deeper issue with that, but I feel like with me it’s never been about the artist and the image of the artist. What was the original reason for your anonymity? I don’t know. But I feel like because I’m not dark, I was able to channel it and put it into my music and into my art. I’ve used those dark times as inspiration for my art.
My art is dark, and I’ve gone through dark times. How do you feel about people thinking you’re a dark person? I am not dark.
