Ever since I was a little kid, I got bored, so I learned to sing, and I started singing lessons. And then anytime I was bored, I would start writing and start messing around on my computer, making beats. Then I got bored and started making YouTube videos; that changed my life in a big way.
I super strongly identify with marginalized communities. I'm not at all religious, but I feel super, super Jewish. I can't even describe the feeling, but it actually feels really similar to being gay, the kind of kinship that you feel with the LGBTQ people. That same sense of community is there with Judaism.
I love retouching images on Photoshop.
I write really visually. In my head, I'm constantly picturing things as I'm writing, so for me, videos are such an expressive part of my job.
People think I must have pushy parents, but that's not the case.
I wanted to write a song about war and that classic 'We want you' recruitment style from the point of view of the recruiter.
I think pop music is in such an exciting place right now, and I do kind of credit that to Lorde with 'Royals.' I think that song changed everything in the pop scene. All of the sudden, alternative pop music became pop music.
