I've never been into the typical R&B voice, with runs and bluesy sounding words. That doesn't suit me.

What makes me happy is having a really nice day out with my mum, or getting better at something I've been working hard at.

I write exactly what I think. If it's a raw subject, I write lots of things and then pull out all the fluff words.

I was never the pretty girl at school. I'm tiny and mixed-race. I grew up in a white area. I was always the loner.

I want people to see what's inside my head rather than just looking at me.

I feel confident that the work I've put in will make people see me as a music artist before anything else.
