Zitat des Tages von Justine Skye:
As artists, we have the luxury of experimenting with extra crazy things, but I feel like my aesthetic is very street-style and high-low.
I get nervous every single time. It doesn't matter if there're five people or five thousand. What I have noticed is that the more people there are, the less nervous I am. It's way harder to impress five people.
I just want to make great music. There's not a genre that I would categorize it as, but I want it to be true and authentic.
To me, being a black woman and being beautiful are not mutually exclusive.
I'm more conscious about who I let into my heart, and I'm singing about it.
I love to glow, and it's important for me to have a good highlighter to brighten up.
Drake is a lyrical genius, and he's great with melodies, and Pharrell is an amazing producer and songwriter.
When it comes to dance hall music, I definitely listened to a lot of Vybz Kartel growing up or Gyptian and Mavado.
Sometimes there can be pressure to post, especially from your followers.
It all started with social media, building a fan base via Tumblr and YouTube, doing covers, and releasing a project with original music. Labels started to peel interest then. It was around the same time I was applying for college.
I express myself a lot on Tumblr, especially through my diary entries, but my Instagram is my modeling portfolio. I have my game face on at all times.
I thought that the music industry was going to be pretty easy - getting features and stuff - and everyone was going to be nice. But I realized that it's really, really hard to get features.
I have three styles. One is my Hypebeast tomboy look, which is pretty much my everyday look.
I used to sing SWV's 'Weak' every day when people would ask me to sing.
I always support my friends.
As a young adult, we all go through things now on social media. It's a part of our everyday lives.
You got to learn when to be the bigger person, especially in the entertainment business.
Every time I've been around Beyonce, I get so nervous that I forget how to speak English.
In terms of style, I'm really inspired by Foxy Brown and Naomi Campbell.
I want to build up the most hype around my album. I wouldn't just throw it away.
I kind of came about at the same time as Instagram, and it becomes, like, your portfolio. When people search who you are, they search Instagram, and I feel like people aren't even using Google anymore.
I'm not just a pretty face. I want to pursue something.
When I'm in L.A., I kind of go crazy in the middle of the night when it's, like, completely quiet.
It's kinda hard to date as an artist because you're all over the place, and your significant other may seem jealous, depending on what they're doing.
I believe I'm a unicorn. Unicorns are very magical and powerful and strong.
Music says the things that people don't say or are afraid to say, and that's the best part about it for me.
One of the biggest things I struggle with is people's opinions. As much as I would like to say that I don't care, I see those comments. And sometimes it affects you more than others, or may completely change your mood.
We all feel like we're alone, but as artists, we get to see firsthand from our fans that we're not. Hearing them scream the words to your songs is the most amazing feeling.
I definitely look up to Rihanna. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, and she's not afraid of taking risks and trying different things, whether it's fashion or music. She's all about what makes her comfortable.
MAC always has the cool, funky products.
Everyone has their own style. It's unique; no one person's style is wrong.
One time I tried bangs, and people just weren't feeling it at all, but it's my hair. It's my unicorn mane, and it's definitely very important to me. It's also my body, and so I don't really care about other people's opinion of it.
I shift between Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat probably 250 times a day, which probably isn't healthy, but I'm unfortunately addicted.
Jeremih is a dope artist.
Being a part of the Dark and Lovely family is an honor. As a dark and lovely girl, I love what they stand for, and I love that they make products for women of color.
Everyone that's come into my life, everything that has happened, has been a part of the plan. It's not even about being in the industry or becoming more popular; it's just about growing and outgrowing some people.
