- Born in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, New York.
- I really never was interested in social media until recently. After this project, it became a much bigger part of my life.
- A lot of people around me influenced my music. I've listened to music that our mom had on our phone 'cause I didn't really have money to buy my own music. So I listened to her's which kind of grew on me.
- All the roles I've gotten were really depressing background characters-either [my character has] a dead mother, or an abusive father, or abusive mother and dead father. It was kind of the same role I've been playing forever.
- I asked for my stepfather's camera and started taking pictures, and I really enjoyed it.
- I love Bill Murray. I've seen almost every single Bill Murray film there is, and I've watched old, old movies, like old Italian movies which is really weird! Like the Bicycle Thief and La Strada.
