True to myself. Living in my truth, having fun, having normal friends, having people where I’m not at work. When I’m not working, I’m hanging out with my friends. We’re on the beach, we’re at the spot. We’re just living real life with my friends. That’s how I relate it to music. We have good days; we have sad days. Some of my friends are married, some are divorced, and some are single. We talk about us, we laugh, we cry. So it’s a real form of being around just amazing people, great women. Live in your truth, be fun, [and] be free. This is what music is. Music is a form of expression. It’s creative; it’s an art. I’m from Miami, it’s free. When it comes to music, it’s your struggle, it’s your success, it’s your triumphs, it’s your loss, it’s your happiness, it’s everything that you have in your life. You’re not [always] going to make happy music. Sometimes, there’s sad music, but it’s still all from the heart. That’s why it reaches people. It touches people. So you have to always live in your truth and just be free when it comes to music. I felt like they did celebrate women [this year]. I felt like they could celebrate more. It’s so many more women. It’s almost undeniable to name all the women. You can’t leave out the decades before my generation. Starting from the top [and] then withering your way down, it’s too many women not to have more categories to celebrate us in these 50 years. That’s what I would love to see.
