When do you find yourself the most inspired? It’s always changing, honestly. Lately I've been really inspired listening to the alternative radio stations in LA while I drive to the studio. There's so many amazing bands I've never heard of that are doing unique stuff. My other favorite station for inspiration is the 70's pop station. I love hearing what they thought was cool in their era.

Tell us about how you stand up for other women on your blog “Emmpowerment”? My hope is that by openly speaking on my struggles and stories, other women are reminded that they aren't alone. I am desperate to remind women of their own glory and strength and power. I want to see my fans love themselves completely and without shame or any feeling of unworthiness. I care about them so much. The idea that there are girls out there with eating disorders or dealing with with abuse completely breaks my heart. I don't have it completely figured out yet but I'll take any chance I get to remind them how insanely loved and valuable they are. 67

On your Instagram you have a post about the greatness in the word “Bitch,” please tell us about your thoughts on this. I hate the word "bitch" because it's so derogatory and so often full of hatred. I made that post to remind girls that every great woman in history was vilified and called names at certain points. And it was often because people were threatened by a woman that truly loved herself and wasn't afraid to speak her beautiful mind. So if you've got someone calling you a "bitch" just because you walk with your head held high, you are in excellent company.
