Check out the fun interview below and see what DEV had to say about her diverse musical style, her family influences and more!

1. When did you first discover your passion for music?

As far back as I can remember I’ve loved music. My parents raised me to have a love and respect for a bunch of different genres. I also studied music in school, I was in band and choir for years. It was when I met The Cataracs in 2008 that I finally felt I could make my love for music a profession. But it goes way, way back.

2. You have an eclectic sound that’s a mixture of Pop, Hip-Hop, Dance and Electro. What helped you broaden your understanding of music?

Like I said, my parents! They bought me Eminem albums, No Doubt, Dr. Dre, Nirvana, etc., all growing up. I was hooked. I loved it all.

3. How did the concept for “In the Dark” come about?

‘In the Dark’ was made in Costa Rica with The Cataracs. I wanted to make a swaggful sexy record. I was feeling sexy that day and wanted to express that. I started my career by making music w my guy friends and singing on their records, so I finally wanted to make a song for the girls!

4. You’ve worked with some of the hottest talent in the industry including Chris Brown, New Boyz, Fabolous and 2 Chainz. Who’s been your favorite artist to work with so far and why?

2 Chainz killed it! Travis Barker, David Guetta. But Timbaland was amazing. I worked w him 3 or 4 days in a row and he was really helpful in teaching me the ropes, I was there with my friends, it was awesome!

5. What inspired your debut album, The Night The Sun Came Up?

I wanted to express my “rags to almost riches” small town girl turns artist/singer. It was my fairy tale album. Hence the fairy tale like cover idk lol.

6. Who else would you like to work with? Is there a future collaboration in the works?

Karen O would be rad. I mean, the more people I work with the more comfortable I get with myself and my craft, so we’ll see!

7. You also appeared on MTV2’s Hip-Hop Squares recently. How was that experience? Would you consider doing acting or more TV appearances?

It was crazy! Everyone was so funny [laughs]!! I like doing TV appearances; I’d be down to do more.

8. What else can current and new fans alike expect from DEV? Any projects you and The Cataracs are currently working on?

I’m working on a new album. A bunch of new sounds and visuals. I’m growing and changing as a person and so is my music. It’s fun!

Dev recently sat down with Teen Vogue and they spoke about different topics including style, her influences and hair styles. Enjoy

Who’s influenced your career the most?
It depends. Definitely my family and the singer Karen O of the band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I love her.

If you could go back in time and tell your teenage self one thing, what would it be?
To trust myself a little bit more. I always felt really awkward and now I look back and realize I was so cool!

Do you have any advice for teens who would like to break into the entertainment industry?
Stay close to your family, work hard, and be true to yourself.

How would you describe your personal style?
It changes every day. I get to play around a lot. I get a lot of inspiration from the ’70s and I like a little big of edge and imperfection. That gives you character.

What type of makeup do you like to wear on stage?
I wear more makeup than I would normally when I’m on stage. I apply foundation, tons of eyeliner, and a heavy brow.

What has been your favorite hair cut or color you’ve ever tried?
I had mohawk at some point, which I loved, and now I have a bleached head! I’ve never bleached my whole head before. I’ve joined the blonde club and it’s fun.

What kind of fragrances do you like?
I have two younger sisters, fourteen and seventeen, and I steal what they wear or we’ll all trade.

Do you have a message you’d like to send to teens?
I would want to tell them to be confident, stay confident, and have fun. Don’t worry about what anyone else says or thinks. Just be proud of who you are and work it!

G & F: What inspires your music?
DEV: My music style is very electronic based but I like to pull from different genres.I had a lot of inspirations for my debut album: I was listening to a lot of Drake and Radiohead,which are two opposite ends of the spectrum. I’m inspired whether it’s from country or from hip-hop—I like to pull them all together but create a sort of electronic sound.

G & F: What about your style—does music inspire that?
DEV: I’m such an inspiration junky, and I change my mind almost every day. It can be stuff on the street. I live in downtown Los Angeles so it’s really fun for me to do all of my styling and music down there. I like blogs, books, certain foods; I will pull inspiration from anything—that’s the fun of being able to create. I express myself through my clothes and makeup every day. As a woman, that’s an awesome feeling.

G & F: What is your philosophy on beauty?
DEV: Freedom of self-expression is a beautiful thing; and beauty is a great tool for that. Whether I’m in a bright mood or a dark mood, whether I feel sexy or fearless, make up definitely helps me play it up.

G & F: Can you give us any hints on your look for Lollapalooza?
DEV: My signature make-up looks are a heavy cat eye and red lip, or a sexy smokey eye look—using the ck one powder eyeshadow quad in smoking. I will probably do some variation of one of these looks.

G & F: Speaking of Lollapalooza, who are you excited to see play?
DEV: I can’t wait to see Santigold!
