I have a secret passion for horse riding. I haven't done it for ages, but I used to have a horse. I love it; it's one of my favourite things.
best consider favourite follow good singing talented
Singing is actually my favourite thing to do in the world - so when you don't consider yourself as talented at anything academically, and there is one thing you're good at, I think it's best to follow what you're good at.
best favourite obsessed primary remember sing until
At primary school, me and my best friend used to do D.I.Y. assemblies, and we'd do it as many times as we could until we got banned! We used to sing 'Hero' by Mariah Carey; it was, like, my favourite song; we were obsessed with it. We'd do it as a duet, and it's the first I remember performing.
changed changes lucky quite stayed
I think I've been quite lucky in that I haven't had to make too many changes to myself. Obviously, there have been adaptations and things that I've altered, but I haven't changed completely. I've stayed myself.
aretha inspired jay people sound
My sound comes from my inspiration, which is people like Aretha and Jay Z and Kanye, as well as everyone from the Whitneys and Mariahs to Destiny's Child and Usher. They all inspired me growing up.
My skin was really bad. Roxanne Rizzo's products were the first things that really cleared it up.

My nan tells me to eat her fish balls and not drink alcohol. I'd rather have the fish balls.
amazing lipstick looked natural shoots suit though time
Lipstick doesn't really suit me. For shoots or when I go out, I use it - but if I use it all the time, it makes me look really old, so I keep it natural with nude or a natural pink. Though I did just do a shoot where they did a big red lip, and it looked amazing.
amazingly incredible pop written
I think 'Rather Be' is an amazingly written pop song with incredible production.

I'm a good girl, and I have a very good Jewish family who brought me up very well.
photos straight takes time
I have so much hair, so straightening takes a long time. I mean, if I look at photos of myself with straight hair, it's hilarious. I look like a different person.
focused hard inspires lyric writers
I find it hard to write with writers sometimes because of their way of writing. Some are heavily focused on structure, but I have more of a 'Let's go with it' mindset. I like to be creative, and when I hear something that inspires me, I'll come up with a melody, a lyric to that melody, and take it from there. I try to keep it open.
brought positive sad
We all go through sad times, but I was brought up to be positive.
