Earlier in my career I just thought "I'm not very confident, I don't like singing to people." But people had some faith in me, and here we are. Sometimes I think "Oh maybe I should just be a backing singer." But I've got an amazing team of people who tell me to shut up when I'm like "Oh god, I can't do it." But now, I can't really imagine it being the other way.

I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who've both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn't necessarily now.

I would like to think I am feminist in some sorts.

A female vocal can lift a song.

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

I don't know if fame will come.

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