Reggae music really chills me out in my dressing-room before I head on stage.

When I do my vocal warm-ups everyone calls me the dolphin because I do stupid siren noises.

A piano in the house, when I came home from school and was able to play all these different notes with all theses different sounds, I really found that fascinating.

Most of the time I write my best songs just from feeling a strong emotion, so whether I'm just really angry or really sad or really happy, I immediately sit down at a piano and I begin writing a song.

I guess my biggest influence was actually my Grandfather. He used to play old records on vinyl, and would play old jazz and soul music like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and The Rat Pack and swing music.

I WAS a mermaid in my past-life! I definitely was. I don't know why I'm obsessed with them that much, which is why I think that somehow in my past-life I must have just lived underwater or something. Maybe I was a fish or a dolphin, but I do believe in mermaids.
