American - Musician
Born: April 28, 1995

I am a pop and R&B singer. I'm not necessarily an Indian singer or musician. I sing in English, and the music I do blends hip hop, pop, R&B, and soul.

Jay Sean

One of the things that I am happy about in my life as an artist is that I am not considered a Hispanic artist.

Andres Serrano

The artist who gave me the most inspiration and direction, especially as a singer - and I absolutely consider myself a singer, 100 percent - is Nina Simone. She's my ultimate pianist-singer-type person.

Rufus Wainwright

I never jump on to a song and say 'I will only sing it.' I am not too obsessed as a singer. I am happy being a composer.

Amaal Mallik

I don't think I am a soul singer and definitely don't think that I am a country artist by any stretch.

Anderson East

Like a bathroom singer, I am a closet artist, but you need time to paint.

Sushmita Sen

I am not a natural singer, but I can sing, and probably the way I sing is more imitative than from myself, which is why I am never going to be an amazing recording artist.

Tim Blake Nelson

I am an idealist. I often feel I would like to be an artist in an ivory tower. Yet it is imperative that I speak to people, so I must desert that ivory tower. To do this, I am a journalist - a photojournalist. But I am always torn between the attitude of the journalist, who is a recorder of facts, and the artist, who is often necessarily at odds with the facts. My principle concern is for honesty, above all honesty with myself.

W. Eugene Smith

I am happy being a playback singer and performer.

Neha Kakkar

I was trying to make my name just Artist in the beginning, but it was weird at first, because I wasn't an R&B singer or nothing. Not an R&B singer. I didn't do no melodic songs, none of that yet.

A Boogie wit da Hoodie

And yet I am happy. Yes, happy. I swear. I swear that I am happy...What does it matter that I am a bit cheap, a bit foul, and that no one appreciates all the remarkable things about me-my fantasy, my erudition, my literary gift...I am happy that I can gaze at myself, for any man is absorbing-yes, really absorbing! ... I am happy-yes, happy!

Vladimir Nabokov

I am a moderately good singer. I am not a great singer but I can interpret a song, which I don't think is quite the same as singing it.

David Bowie

When I first came into the business, I had to, for the sake of being able to sell myself as an artist, always be happy and jovial and smiling. I was the happy nice girl, and I am the happy nice girl, but I have my moments, too.
