Atilya Finley’s Post

Chloe Flower, a pianist and composer who went viral after her iconic performance with Cardi B at the 2019 Grammy Awards, says she toned down her true self for years trying to fit into the classical music world 🎹. “When people think of classical music, they think of a man, in a tuxedo, in all black”, she said. For many years, Flower says she wanted to show her personality, her fashion and her passion for pop music 🎶, but felt she had to hide it all to be accepted. “All those things, I had to do in secret to be accepted in my own community.” As she started to develop her signature sound and style, she said, “Everything changed.” “When you believe in something and you're being authentic to yourself, it can work, and it will work, as long as you keep going.” ❓How do you stay authentic to yourself at work?
