added bedroom came dramas fell girl happier home life love music naive perform ready sing singing walking
I was naive in that I thought I could just sing and perform and do what I had always wanted to do all my life. But I wasn't ready for all the added dramas that came along. There were times I fell out of love with music and thought about walking away. I thought I was happier when I was that girl at home in my bedroom singing into my hairbrush.
believe good grew knew needed sing
When I was on the X-Factor, I found that I grew a lot as a performer. I knew I could sing but I didn't believe in myself enough... I needed to hear that I was good.
album cool definitely single work
I think there's definitely a dance album or at least single in me somewhere. I would want to work with a really cool Ibiza DJ, though.
backup bench needed realising remember singer sitting york
I remember sitting on a bench in New York and sobbing and realising that my ambition to be a singer was making me selfish - I was a mother with two children, and I needed a backup plan.
writing singers
I'm a better writer than I am a singer, and I express myself easily through writing.
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.
