thinking giving people
I would love to have the biggest band that I can have. I'd love to put on a massive show and just give people their money's worth, then just come away from it thinking, 'That was a good show', because it's kind of disappointing sometimes when you go and see someone and you can see they're not that bothered.
art school people
I went to the Brit School for the performing arts in Croydon at 14, picking music as my main subject, and I'm so glad I did. I knew lots of people who'd gone there, so I always had my mind set on it.
people records
I guess I've been making records since I was 16, and even when 50 people bought them, I thought that was amazing.
matter excited gender
I'm excited about representing my gender, but at the same time it doesn't matter. I wouldn't say my gender has been a disadvantage.
dancer singers wanted
I had wanted to be a dancer when I was younger. But at some point I figured out I was a better singer.
people ifs
I make music, and if people like it, they like it, and some people won't.
thinking interesting long
I think as long as you're being creative and finding your own work interesting, that's all that matters.
song writing names
I love writing songs where the name is the title.
idols play piano
I used to play the piano when I was younger, and I loved Alicia Keys. I wanted to be Alicia Keys; she was such an idol to me.
people holland knows
I'd love to be the new Jools Holland, but you know, for, like, cooler people.
girl mean people
A lot of people say I'm like a pop girl, but I don't know what that means.
