In reply to S****** Blonde.

INFLUENCE is: "My music was influenced by both historically black genres such as jazz and hip hop, and Japanese culture. The music, look and aesthetic of my work hints at these inspirations, but the decision is ultimately mine and you can see the blend of the two perspectives to create a more progressive conversation."
APPROPRIATION is: "I love black and asian people so I want to get cornrows (while "nappy hair" is used as facet of derogatory Black stereotype") and wear a kimono (also used as a negative stereotype against Asians being submissive)."
