niccolos:gtkm [22/?] musicians → rina sawayamaWhen I was starting out, I was very, very fixated on what I represented to people. At the time, I remember looking around being like “There’s not a single Asian pop artist that I can name.” Hayley Kiyoko was sort of coming in a bit, but I was like “I can’t name people who have pushed their Asian-ness to the fore and made art out of it.” Even just in the process of writing this album, there’s so many artists now. I definitely felt the pressure for me to reach this next level of representation. I feel like the first step was me talking about the fact that there’s no representation, and then the second step was just being as successful as possible doing something that I would be proud of. -- source link
