I am so blessed that all I've done in my professional life, since I was 17-18, is play music and somehow make a dollar here and there.

My mother has never been involved in my professional life. I am very close to my mother but we keep it on a mother-daughter basis and not a work-related basis.

It’s taken me all my life to learn what not to play.

I am obsessed with rap music - it's such a big part of my life.

Serving in Congress is the great honor of my professional life. I am deeply grateful to the people of the 4th Congressional District for placing their trust in me.

But since I am in the music industry, I don't want anyone to download music, not on September 9th.
