Mzvee had a brief conversation with several media representatives who were present at the album listening before the release of her most recent album, “10 Thirty,” during which she discussed how some media men had told her she would not succeed with her brand because she resembled a gospel singer.
She said:
“People have advised me to alter a little bit over my career. I’ve sat in offices with significant industry players who have told me I wouldn’t succeed because I resembled a gospel singer.
From I haven’t changed since the beginning and have no plans to, my brand has endured. People advised me to wear more provocative clothing and perform more provocative lyrics when I first started doing music, but I told them it wouldn’t last because I couldn’t sustain it.
