far full gold huge love seven tours until wall
I love singing, so I want to see how far I can take it. I love the challenge, and I won't be happy until I have a wall full of gold discs and seven huge world tours under my belt.
audrey films funny guy lose love
I love rom-coms. Any will do. Films such as 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' or 'Funny Face' with Audrey Hepburn.
people
I just have a way about me where people know that they don't tell me what to do, they kind of just wait for me to do it.
state
I'm never scared to ask a question or state the obvious, y'know.
love music sake versus
I'm just excited that I get to put out the music I love versus music just for the sake of it.
home suitcase
I'm used to traveling. I'm used to being in different areas of the world. Home is where my suitcase lands.
basically busted room versions
If there is enough space on radio for Busted and McFly, who are basically the same band, or for 50,000 versions of Stereophonics and Coldplay, there must be enough room for all of us.
scared
I have to live authentically at all times. And that's part of what makes me an artist. I'm not scared to do that.
If you think about where I'm from, I'm not supposed to be singing in the first place. I'm not supposed to be alive right now.
garage music paying people
Garage music came up when people weren't paying attention.
clear gives learned mind
I learned that working out gives me a space to get clear. It's not just about the body. It gives me space to process things and get clear in my mind about decisions and things I want to do.
I never feel that far away from the tabloids.
female ms
I am a black British female artist, so I must be like Ms Dynamite, I must be like Shystie, I must be like Jamelia, but we're all different.
great happens might rid room sit song sort turn
I can sit in my room and write a song that I think might be a hit. I can sort of make myself do that, and then I'll play it to a friend, and they'll say, 'Oh, that's nice.' But when something happens to me, and I sit down and write a song to get rid of my emotions, they'll turn around and say, 'Wow, that's great.'
