I have been working on finding my voice for years. As an artist, I always want everything I create to represent what my soul feels and sounds like ā whether itās a video concept or a lyric or melody. Two years ago on a rare rainy day in Los Angeles, in a songwriting session with Owen Thomas and Lily May Young, I was venting my frustration about my music not connecting the way I wanted it to. Lily looked me in the eye and asked, āTell me something nobody knows about you, something you are afraid to sing about?ā I immediately thought, well I like girls and thatās what I want to sing about, but even then I struggled to say it out loud. Finally, I told Lily that I always say āyouā and āthem" and never the pronoun āher" in all my songs because I was afraid it wouldnāt connect. We talked more about concepts and my experiences, and how I loved the idea of stealing another guyās girl because that was always a fantasy of mine. Growing up, everything I did was always about girls. I took dance because of girls. I got involved in student council because of girls. Not that I ever expected any of them to like me back, but I just felt comforted being around them, even if I could never date them. So there we were. The song āGirls like Girls" was born.

On a very small scale, I kind of understand why the directors that I work with do certain things. I don't consider myself an incredible director. I'm not ready to do movies by any means. But, I feel like I can be a better actress now that I've been on the other side and kind of understand the process and more of the technical aspects of it.

Itās tough as an artist to have such a specific vision for your video in mind when you write a song. Reaching out to directors is like going on blind dates and trying to find someone who sees the exact vision behind your music, which can be really difficult.

āI definitely believe that you are drawn to certain things for inexplicable reasons, but in a very powerful way. I donāt know what it is exactly, but I know that things happen kind of miraculously sometimes, and so Iām willing to believe that thereās something pretty magical out there.ā

No, I like normal life but I will go crazy if Iām not working. Iāll say to my mom, āIām going crazy! Iām going stir crazy!ā I love my house. I love my family. I love my animals. Sometimes, I just want to work whether its on location here in Michigan or back in LA. I just want to work, work, work. Itās what I want to do with the rest of my life so, yes, I do go a little bit crazy when Iām not working.
