I was very obsessed with my music, and I think that, as a young girl, I really wanted to get into this business, and I don't think my parents really knew how to protect me.

I think what people get confused about is that they want to label me as this EDM girl, but a lot of this stuff is genre-less.

As a young girl I think I wanted to be a horse woman. I loved horses.

When I was a little girl, my dream was just to hear my song on the radio. It was very fascinating to me, and I was like, 'How do I do that?' Now it's like, 'Oh my God, my song is on the radio!'

I think, especially in pop culture, we're brought up to think that a normal pop star is this pretty, well-kept-together girl.

I want to show every part of me and every color of me. And I think, growing up Albanian, I wanted to bring that to light.
