Other than the 'Sesame Street' soundtrack, which I was obsessed with, the first artist I really felt I'd discovered on my own was Amy Winehouse. She was the first female artist I wanted to write like and sing like and be like.
I was always told that music isn't a 'realistic' path to take, and like a normal human being, I doubted myself over and over because I was afraid of failure.
Body image is something that girls struggle with every day, and it's something that I struggle with every day.
As long as each song makes somebody feel something, I think that's the point of it all. I don't want it to just be background music, you know?
Every time I sing, it it's a reminder to myself that I have to be confident.
Flannel shirts, denim, Converse, a guitar, messy hair? That's literally me.
I barely have time to think. But the best way to stay grounded is to take it one day at a time.
I don't really dance. I don't drink or smoke. Being at parties is very awkward.
I don't want to be cliched, but Buckingham Palace is beautiful, and the old red telephone booths are really interesting to me. I've always wanted to see those.
I feel like my whole life, I've had to prove myself to so many people because I'm young and because I'm a female; it's just constant. I'm always surprising people.
