british choice copy music rather sounds tried trying whenever work
When I was 13, listening to Choice FM, I would listen to a lot of R&B from America, and whenever a British person tried to do it, it didn't really work, they just sounded like they were trying to copy that whole style. Now the music sounds British, something real rather than an imitation.
celebrate club dance dancing good love music people similar time work
When I do a festival, I want everyone to have a party, I think it is kind of similar to a club where everyone is there to have a good time and celebrate not being at work or just being able to have fun. I love people dancing to my music as well; if I can make them dance I feel happy.
complete finding great guy judge meet meeting psycho time wasted
The nice way to meet a guy is through getting to know them first. Then you can really judge their personality. What I can't take is meeting someone, going on a date, getting to know them, then finding out they're a complete psycho - 'Great, I've just wasted all this time on you!'
girl boys clothes
When I got the beat, in my imagination I was catapulted into this club where all the boys and girls are looking hot and wearing amazing clothes, and there's this girl dancing and looking better than me.
fashion stars icons
I've never really compared myself to anyone who's a big star - I'm not trying to be a fashion icon or get famous.
real america choices
When I was 13, listening to Choice FM, I would listen to a lot of R&B from America, and whenever a British person tried to do it, it didn't really work, they just sounded like they were trying to copy that whole style. Now the music sounds British, something real rather than an imitation.
taken inspiration artist
When I hear the same formula being used over and over, I get bored. Just as huge pop artists have taken inspiration from things that are happening at the moment, I do the same with my music.
records favourite said
Someone asked me the other day what my favourite record shop was, and I said YouTube.
mind shy my-own
I've always known my own mind, and I'm not shy about speaking it.
fans influence bigs
I'm a big fan of Beyonce and Rihanna. I've listened to Beyonce all my life, and she's a big influence on me.
interesting challenges
Whenever I'm making something, the challenge is always to create something that's interesting for me to listen to.
guy relax clubs
I go to a club to relax and hear the music on a big sound system. I don't go to pull a guy.
thinking people want
I don't want people to think they have to like me because I'm on TV every other minute.
thinking dubstep sound
I don't think I represent all things dubstep. I just like clubbing, so those are the sounds I've chosen to work with.
