Raven-Symoné has kept much of her private life under wraps as she's navigated the industry for the majority of her life. Now, she's opening up on INFRASOUNDS, a five-pack project that's said to be second in a series. "I do believe growing up in the industry has morphed my vision of life in general," she said. "I'm a product of my environment/upbringing and yeah, I've been in this industry since I was two years old and I'm 34."

'The revealing part is you've never seen me like this. I've never spoken so freely about what I've been through. I've spoken it to the people around me... but now I'm letting the public see it," Raven-Symoné added. There's much more that she wants to share from her childhood as many of her lyrics, she said, are pulled from her diaries. 'But it hasn't been released yet to the world. I think that's (for) another moment... when I got to go through that again and I'm still learning how to process it."
