soleilmoonpocki asked: What advice would you give to young artist trying to make it in the industry?
madeunderpressure asked: First let me just say how much I LOVE your music, I'm a huge fan! I feel like you sing right from my heart. I was wondering, when you write your songs, do you draw off of personal experiences or just a general feeling? In the song "All I Ever Think About" who were you thinking about? (just joking, unless you're going to answer..)

mstasha asked: I'm thinking about doing the big chop but Im not used to actually maintaining my own hair, I'm so used to weaving it up that's it. Whats your hair regime to keep your twa looking healthy?
mstasha asked: Hi gurl...lol!!! I truly admire your confidence. Every time ice seen you perform live, which has been at 4 or 5 times, you make it known you love the skin you're in. What advice do you give the young woman searching for that?
simplee-chaotic asked: How long have you bee natural? What made you go natural? && what made you opt for the "fade"? I love that you embrace that natural craze, it give us natural beauties who know its more than a craze (its a movement) a sense of belonging. :) Love, love love your music!!
tracingme asked: You're a hair icon (whether you knew it or not). What's your hair like these days?
honeyinheadphones asked: I love love love your music. I own all of your albums and saw you perform live at the House of Blues New Orleans. What is your biggest fear when performing?
piecesoftae asked: How hard was it to just dive in and do the BC? If I didn't think my head was so big, I would so do it LOL!!! But you pull it off beautifully!! :)
poeticjusticeswagg asked: Do you have any hair care tips or advice on transitioning from relaxed to natural?
kaywhinthinks asked: So...I love your music. You have a way of wording things in a way no other artist can. So my question is how do you write so many powerful songs, all equally powerful but each as unique as the next?
accordingtoreek asked: Chrisette! I love your music and your style! You helped me embrace my abnormally large eyes! lol! I always miss you when you come to the DC/ BMore area. When will you be back?
mariahislove asked: I love all your song and am a really big fan! I noticed that when you preform, you seem so happy and confident. What's your secret? And have you always been that way?
nspired2be asked: What encouraged you to cut your hair? And how long do you plan on keeping it like this? It's beautiful.. very beautiful.
animalcrackheads asked: I go to Morehouse, but missed Homecoming this year. When I came back, everyone was talking about you! Huge aftershock & Epiphany was playing everywhere: dining hall, study hall lol

If you’re bored, here’s a bunch of words I smashed onto a page…
The reason its sometimes so hard for me to write isn’t because I don’t LOVE to write.
It’s because I’m so affected by music until it has the ability to conform my very being.
If the drums are super hip-hop then I wanna wear my yellow tims and diamond earring studs, my jeans and white tee. My head bops a little...

I asked the sweetest little lady to tell me how the riots in London are affecting her. I’m so broken by her personal story. She’s just a girl who loves to dance and she’s afraid for her life. Read below:
Dear Miss Michele,
Riots In London!
Well … the riots in London… what a devastation :|
It’s the youth. The youth of today killing their own society because they believe...

So I'm taking a break in Amsterdam right?
So, I’m hanging out in Holland, Amsterdam to be exact and I take in the city, go to the train station, have some koffie :), meet new people, see my friend Nas perform etc.
I decide I wanna find some cool exclusive t-shirts n hoodies and hopefully some kicks (I’m a size 8 in ladies, 6 in guys and u wear a medium tee in dudes and a large in chicks) and so I come across this lil...
These basket ball players
These basket ball players
I see them on TV and pray everytime they fall.
I name myself after them with video games.
I shout when they score.
I cry when they loose.
I feel jaded when they get traded.
I’m culturally, socially, emotionally attached.
These basket ball players.
Basket Ball players are these big giants.
Big beautiful rippling shouldered giants.
They are brave.
They are...

Friends vs. Family
Truth is, if u aren’t a friend, how can u be family. Family protects, shields, feeds, houses and defends.
Family is up front, honest, forward and loyal.
Family doesn’t believe gossip. Family doesn’t believe rumor.
Family has history. You’ve been through real ups and downs together. You know your family well. You understand each other. You know their character.

Thank goodness for Mary J on my YouTube
Mary J said “No More Drama” over and over in my dressing room on YouTube before my Mississippi show last night.
It registered with me. My phone was ringing, my email alerting, texts blowing up and for some reason it was all drama.
I decided to rid myself of as much nonsense as possible.
People usually don’t mean as much harm as they create but it’s your responsibility to...

Most people reading this won’t know what it means. I just find it interesting that folks wanna put things in print to bring up old news. Yeah, I’m just like every other great before me. This is what we call Trial and Error. Enjoying the saga means knowing God has an incredible plan for my life and this won’t taint it. If you’d like to hear the press statement we’ve...

These are the words from the hearts of Indy artists and artists like me. Natalie was brave enough to actually say them. She doesn’t have to worry about the repercussions of her words in the politics like a major artist might but she is no less brave.
Here are the words from the heart if a girl like me:
Someone posted something interesting today in my Honesty Box.
They said:”I...

I’ll take that back.
Well… sorta. Truth is I’m not really a cool connoisseur. I haven’t studied the most popular way to speak, the most appealing way to exist, nor the easiest way to fit in. I’ve always had a tasty box of “a little left of center” stored away in my cabinet for brave days. The most comforting words aren’t always the first on my mind.
I’ve been an admirer of the...

THE BEST PART OF MY LIFE
THE BEST PART OF MY LIFE
The best part of my musical journey is getting to meet people. Traveling from city to city and country to country weather on tour or leisure. Travel broadens my horizons. I shake the hands of doctors and teachers, motivational speakers, entrepreneurs, millionaires, billionaires, the homeless, the battered, students, and chefs. My favorite new friends tend to be cashiers...
Hold up... Stop the Press... It's Chrisette......
This is about the issue:
The issue I am addressing has nothing to do with how I relate to Rick Ross or any other artist. Rick Ross I am sure is the same kind gentle soul that invited me into his studio and allowed me to create a song organically that spread throughout the industry. The song became more then we both ever thought it would.
We were both very excited about performing that night...
Award Show
Award Show :
If this is the way hip hop is then I denounce it.
This is not about ego. This is about what I can bring to the world. My life is for the people. I live to give.
It’s my desire to bring life and freedom light and love everywhere I go. Upward mobility in the brown skinned community.
Who stands off at an award show because they don’t win? An award is winning at...
A Letter to my fans : LOVE THY BROTHER #themixtape...
Dear my beloved American Friend,
I’ve been blessed with some of the most beautiful fans on the planet. You guys have sold out my shows around the country and even the world. You have waved your hands to “Blame it on Me” and tweeted me into oblivion. You’ve sent love letters to me on Myspace, sent flowers back-stage, we’ve cut our hair together. You’ve called into the radio to speak love and...

So, I’m a really good cook. Yep. I can soul food around Sylvia and bake a circle around Cake-man Raven. My grilled cheese is bomb and my PB&J might make you wanna marry me.
I’ll light a candle, make a picnic in my living room and you wont even know why you fell in love with me. It’s a potion. Its in my kitchen. I’m a love doctor....
