Bebe Rexha

I view myself as a male artist.

I have never spoken to Eminem. I've never even spoken to him once.

I'm very obsessed with not being perfect.

It's tough hearing your voice on the radio, on a chorus, and knowing that people think it's another artist.

I think what people get confused about is that they want to label me as this EDM girl, but a lot of this stuff is genre-less.

I have put absolutely everything into my album. I feel like it's been such a long journey to get here. It is like giving birth to my first child, and I want to make sure I did everything right.

We write the song, then it gets played for the artist, and they somehow fall in love with it and go back in and make it their own.

I write all of my songs from scratch, so the one thing I love about EDM is the way a song transforms into a piece of art, and how the different sounds can change the feel of the record.

I'd love to work with Kanye West. He's gone through a lot of stuff in the public eye, but his music is genius. He always takes risks.

My ideal night would probably be a dope outfit, people that I love around me. Go to get some dinner, have some amazing food. Maybe sushi or Italian: I love both.

I think what 'The Monster' means to me is I find it really hard - like a lot of other people in the world - to really be OK in my own skin. It was a message to myself saying, 'It's OK that you're not perfect.' I'm gonna learn to love myself and accept myself, even though I'm a little crazy.

Sometimes it gets a little too bubblegum for me, but what I do love about KPop videos is their attention to detail, and their choreography and dancing are always spot-on.
