The first time I went out under the spotlight, I was proper freaked out.
I'm excited about representing my gender, but at the same time it doesn't matter. I wouldn't say my gender has been a disadvantage.
I've always known my own mind, and I'm not shy about speaking it.
The days of an open mic night when I'd rock up in an old jumper are over.
Whenever I'm making something, the challenge is always to create something that's interesting for me to listen to.
My dad was a soul fan and a singer himself, and he loved vocal harmony, stuff like the Beach Boys and Motown like the Four Tops, which was a big influence on me.
