Baby Ariel is looking back on her fast rise to fame in the best way possible!

Known for her videos on fan-favorite lip-syncing app Musical.ly, Ariel has now branched out to take over the worlds of singing, acting and book publishing! But in a recent interview, the multi-talented star took a walk down memory lane by reflecting on how Musical.ly led to the amazing music we know and love her for today:

“I took [Musical.ly] so seriously. For each song, I would sit there for a good hour, figuring out, ‘Okay, what hand motion can I do with this lyric? In my head, that [15 seconds] was like, the world,” said Ariel. “I came to the realization of, ‘Okay, I can build off of this.’ Let me build this platform while I, behind-the-scenes, get ready for the day that I want to release music.”

And the best part of Ariel’s realization? She even hinted at “more raw and real” singles to come after wowing with bop “Gucci on My Body.” Consider us officially pumped for this new, honest music!
