show on "Breals" YouTube channel. I've
been doing brand takeovers on my
Snapchat and Periscope, which I think
is super cool because I haven't seen a lot
of artists do this. I basically interview,
go look at other strong females'
businesses and how they operate, then
I let my fans watch and ask questions
about owning, starting and keeping a
business. I'm forever creating new
things.
NUDE: Has being in the hip hop
industry inluenced your style?
LD: Being in the hip hop industry has
inluenced a lot of things. I think it has
shown me that you can make hip hop
music but not take part in every rapper
thing that goes on. I'm very much to
myself and being exclusive. I don't
think people realize how important it is
to not be in everyone's face.
inluenced by the sounds around me. I'm not one of those
stuck-up artists that's like "I ONLY LISTEN TO MY OWN
MUSIC, I DON'T WANT ANY OUTSIDE INFLUENCES." I
think that's bullshit. People are constantly creating and
being inluenced by their peers.
NUDE: We’ve heard you do fashion
designing as well as music and
modeling. How do you manage to
balance the three?
LD: It's easy; you have to be good at
time management, and everything I do
I truly want and believe in. When you
believe in it, you don't care what time
or how long it takes to do it, you just get
it done.

NUDE: How do you keep so true to your style and
yourself throughout this business?
LD: The only way to keep true to your own style is to be an
asshole. You have to force your style onto other people
(Haha). No, but really, I'm in my early 20's and my style is
forever progressing. I'm very into the grunge/chic/
homeless look - as long as I'm comfy and sexy it's all
good.
NUDE: What are some special projects you're working on
that you can give us a little sneak peek about?
LD: I'm working on two new books. I just finished my
album. I've been shooting a lot. I'm working on creating a
NUDE: If you wanted your fans to
know you by only one thing, what
would it be?
LD: Without you there is no me, so for
you I am forever thankful. I am
thankful for people watching my
growth and truly believing in me
because it's not easy being a female
underdog in this industry or being able
to make it and have a true inluence. I
just love all my fans so much because
it's true WITHOUT THEM THERE
WOULD BE NO ME.
