learnt people society
I think, even in society, people get so caught up in how they look. I think I let that go, and I've learnt to not care.
hugely tracy
I've been hugely inspired by the songwriting of Lauryn Hill and Tracy Chapman - on their albums, they really tell it like it is.
alongside beauty good interested invest music studied
I've always been interested in beauty. I studied it when I was 16 and 17, and I know it's a good idea to invest in something alongside my music.
bit foundation life model obsessed pop secret trying
Sometimes I won't put a lot of make up on; I won't put foundation on. I'll just pop a bit of blusher on. I'm not obsessed with trying to look like a Victoria's Secret model - it's real life.
best buying guilt loads mum realised
You always have guilt as a working mum, and you overcompensate by buying them loads of things. That was what I was doing, anyway. I've kind of realised now that I'm the best mum that I can be.
good
I was really good at manicures, facials and make-up.
freedom given
I think jazz has given me freedom with my voice.
brothers closest felt older protective sam younger
We have two older brothers and two younger sisters; Sam and I are in the middle, and I've always felt protective and closest to him.
best dance looking love music pop
I do love dance music, but at the same time, I'm not looking to put out a big pop album. You've got to be the best you can be.
ok
I can do an OK manicure, but I need to stick to singing.
came money needed work
I came from nothing. We didn't have money, so I started work at 14 because I really needed the money.
quick
For me, it's not about quick grabs and quick sales; it's about having a sound that will last and sustain.
business understand
After the 'X Factor,' there were opportunities everywhere. It was all there waiting for me to enjoy. I didn't understand business.
happened people poor stuff
A lot of negative stuff has happened to me - that's why I'm tough - but I don't want people to be like, 'Oh, poor Becky,' because I'm not a victim.
