I don't know if I should say this, but I feel more like a singer than an artist.

I have moments, like a guy saying to me on the tube, "You know, you look a lot like Jessie Ware."

Dance music has pushed its way into the mainstream. Which is good for me.

I always have to pretend I'm somebody else to give the best performance. It kind of feels like I'm acting; it's definitely an exaggerated version of me. I'm a very normal, down-to-earth person, but I wanted the videos to be striking, so I have to lay it on a little bit.

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

I'm not a complicated person.

I sung from an early age and I was always given nice parts in school musicals, but I definitely wasn't the golden girl. I didn't have the guts. You've got to have a real confidence in yourself to be like: "I'm gonna be a singer and write songs." I never thought it would go anywhere because it's so unattainable to be a singer.
