I love Adele and Lykke Li. I also listen to classical music as well.

I read the three Hunger Games books in a week and because I liked them so much I wrote Just a Game.
people towns looks
My town's quite small and you kinda recognize everyone when you see them, so I definitely get funny looks from people.
fans huge
I've never spoken to Bon Iver, but I would love to. I'm a huge fan!
singing trying
It's just me and I try to be myself when I'm singing.
people inspire style
The things I see every day inspire my sound and lyrics, like certain people and situations that stick out in my mind. There are also certain musicians I love whose music and styles inspire me.

I wanted to give people a taste of my own music through the sound and style of my covers.

I think it was when I was 12 when I entered a singing competition. I sang my own original song for an audience of 1,000 people.
guitar play violin
I used to play violin, but I wasn't very good! I'm starting to learn guitar.
goes-on world different
I get really nervous right before I go on stage. But once I'm performing, I always love it. It's like being in a different world.
mom teacher real
It's quite hard to have your mom as a teacher - it's like, she's not necessarily a "real teacher" for me. But she'd always teach me to really hear the music, and develop my ear, and to try and hear the harmonics of the piano. That was the main thing.
quickly traveling
I've started to get used to traveling a lot and performing, but still everything has grown so quickly and is very exciting!
