I love the idea of being part of a campaign that captures the spirit of New York and the stories of women here, passionate about their dreams.
In this industry, all the heads of labels are men, but every artist has to prove themselves, regardless of their sex. I have always been very vocal about the women sticking together.
I'm like a dude. Jordans are my favorite. I wear them all the time for shows. I can get girly-girly when I want to, but I can't perform in heels. I would bust my face open on stage, and we don't want that.
I mix my fragrances with body oils - I love body oils, so that's my little trick.
I just love pretty things, whether it is art, a song or a pair of shoes.
Before every show, I have to put perfume on. I know the crowd's not necessarily going to smell me, but when I smell good, I feel like I can dominate the room.
I'm very spontaneous. I go with my gut.
I never knew how small L.A. was until I started to work here.
I literally touched down in Kosovo and the president, prime minister and mayor were waiting for me to get off the plane. Apparently that's unheard of. They don't wait for nobody.
I'm basically just a normal girl from West London who speaks from her heart and who loves music.
If you really want something, you'll make it work.
I don't really remember much about Kosovo. I only remember growing up in London, where my parents had to basically start from scratch.
I don't really have that many judgements on things, or crazy statements that I feel like I have to put across.
I don't know how 'X Factor' works. I was only there as a guest judge for a day. But I watched 'The Voice' a lot; I respected how it came across on TV, and I love the freedom we get as coaches to do what we want.
