Check out excerpts from her interview below.

 On being bullied… 

“Music was my saving grace growing up. I was not an only child and had to constantly keep myself busy, but I was also teased a lot. I was heavy,nerdy, and happy …a perfect target for a bully. So I remember artists like Aaliyah, TLC, and even Spice Girls making me feel like I had these “friends” who understood me. I was also a huge fan of the 90’s Divas Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, and Celine Dion.”

Her reaction to Sasha and Melia being fans of her music…

“I couldn’t believe it. I thought at first that it was just a rumor but then I watched and it was definitely real. I was shocked but also very
proud that the White House approves my music for their precious daughters to listen to. I made an album that simply told my story and that it could be appreciated by both a 14-year-old girl and that girl’s Mother.”

On her personal style…

“I would describe my style as fun, unpredictable, and unique. I wear a lot of bows and glasses as accessories. I hear people say all the time only Elle would wear that. I don’t wear things for shock value, but more to express how I’m feeling that day and in that moment.”
