If you're from South London you feel like you're always trying to win people over, so perhaps that underdog passion comes through.

If I make a song where I'm happy, I sound completely mad - I think my voice is better-suited for sadder songs.

I guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.

I don't know if fame will come.

I'm not a complicated person.

I went to university and studied English literature, and I forgot about music. I was gonna be a journalist. But then I decided to try and be a backing singer, and my mum was like, "Go for it." If that didn't work, I was gonna go to law school. I was just being boringly sensible; trying to be a singer felt a bit indulgent.

I don't think I'm prepared for life in the spotlight. I don't even think I'm really prepared now, but I still don't really feel like I'm in the spotlight a lot. I'm not a household name. I'm not followed around by paparazzi. I still have a very normal life. I'd love as many people to know and like my music as possible, but there's something quite lovely about being able to still go and watch your boys play football.
