I didn't even listen to any music until I was 19, really. I just wanted to be famous. But I didn't say it to anyone because I was really embarrassed at the thought.
affects apparently artists draw judge lady list music people perry production sound time versatile
I could draw up a list of about 30 artists who I apparently sound like. From Lady Gaga, to Katy Perry to Lana Del Rey. I don't know if it's because I'm versatile or because production affects how people judge music. I can't wait for a time I can just be classed as myself.

Touring can be tough; the crew and I travel everywhere by a big pink bus, and live in petrol stations.
