duet fathom keys loved music nervous proud released remember sing singing song teacher usher
I remember Alicia Keys and Usher had released a song called 'My Boo,' and my music teacher got me to sing a duet with a friend of mine, and I remember being so nervous because I loved to sing, but I could never fathom singing by myself. And when I did that, I remember how proud I was of myself. I was 12.
might people seem songs using wisdom
Sometimes it might seem like I'm using my songs to give other people pointers. But mainly, they're for me, just little notes to myself that I collected, and the wisdom that I've read. I give myself a lot of advice.
environment realized sang time
By the second time I sang by myself in school, I just realized that I was more in control of my environment than I had ever been before.
performing until
Performing didn't feel comfortable until I was about 17. I loved to sing, but I always said I would never perform because I was too scared.
genuine music people press record
At the beginning, at my shows, there were a lot of press and people from record companies. Now there are people who are there to just listen to the music and are genuine fans.
brown came coast hard looked moved music people school sweden time town until west
I had a hard time when I came back to Sweden and started school, because I looked different. And we moved to a really small town on the west coast of Sweden, and there were no brown people around. It didn't really get any better until I started music school at about 10 years old.
master onstage suddenly
I suddenly got used to that feeling of being in control, which I never, ever feel when I'm not onstage - a feeling that you're the master of your own universe.
comparing influenced message
It was the part of Gambian culture where they give each other advice a lot, how they're always comparing things in order to get a message across... that really influenced the way I write.
