Still, Pastel was undeterred, and despite not being able to be a part of the tour, she was overjoyed when she got the initial call."It was really dope. Getting that call and having him reach out to me meant a lot," she says."Seeing my name on those tickets even, on the flyers and whatnot, it makes me feel like I'm on the right path."Pastel recalls playing the keyboard at an early age."My mother always bought me keyboards.
And while many big artists like Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj have inspired her, she also credits Cleveland rappers like Cory Bape, Fat Al, Chip Da Ripper, and Ray Cash. Regarding what makes her stand out, Pastel says her originality and flavor sets her apart from her peers. She also points to her childhood as influencing her style."All the elements of my life, make up for me, ya know?" she says."That's between where I grew up, the friends I grew up around, the school I went to." But she can't do it all alone, she acknowledged.
