business good hippie
I'm not very good at business. I'm more of a creative, fun-loving hippie type.
age bus kid lessons music pay since smallest took
I took lessons since I was little; I used to pay for my own singing lessons and take myself. Just take the bus when I was a kid and go. But I'd been writing music for years, since the smallest age.
learnt people society
I think, even in society, people get so caught up in how they look. I think I let that go, and I've learnt to not care.
hugely tracy
I've been hugely inspired by the songwriting of Lauryn Hill and Tracy Chapman - on their albums, they really tell it like it is.
amazing family love music people provide work
I'm able to provide for my family and the people that I love with things that I never used to be able to. I'm getting to make music and work with amazing people. I just feel really lucky.
brought lovely loving mum
My mum is a lovely woman, so strong but so kind and compassionate. She brought us up to be proud, loving and forgiving.
aim couple life sustain
The aim for me is to have a long career. I've got a couple of kids, and so I can't really be a fashion because I have to sustain a life for my children.
attract funny left men
I want to go out with my friends and have a laugh. It's funny: you always attract men when you don't want them - you'll go out, and they'll want your number, while you're left thinking, 'Where were you when I wanted a boyfriend?'
freedom given
I think jazz has given me freedom with my voice.
across amazing pretend stage
I'm not on the stage going, 'Look at me! I'm amazing!' I accept my vulnerability, don't pretend I'm something I'm not. I don't want to come across as fake.
bailey
I like Sam Bailey - she's got a huge voice.
bought loads needed phase worthless
After 'X Factor,' I got loads of gigs. Then I went on holiday just after the tour and bought my Rolex in Tenerife. I needed to go through that phase - splurge and see that it's worthless - to get it out of my system.
freedom future might sad
It's sad really, I think 'Freedom' would've done better, but it got shelved because of the pregnancy, so it might be something that might get revisited in the future; who knows?
bit family knight late love music respect soul teens until
It wasn't until my late teens that I really got into soul music and then I was like 'Ooh, this is good!' You'd always here it at old family parties, like, Gladys Knight and I'd always love it but I didn't really get to know it and respect it until I was a bit older.
