    I think she's chosen to have the options she has in her life. You sort of choose your level of fame. You could be CZcams famous, or you could strive to achieve Bieber famous. I personally wouldn't want the latter, but I think CZcams artists are redefining what it means to have an incredible fanbase and still have a life and pursue other passions that are not just music. That industry is so dominated by so many negative aspects that kill the spark of musicians and control them, that I feel the CZcams or independent community has shaken up so profoundly in the last ten years. Faouzia has to be my absolute favorite. 💜
