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 guess I've been making records since I was 16, and even when 50 people bought them, I thought that was amazing.

When I hear the same formula being used over and over, I get bored. Just as huge pop artists have taken inspiration from things that are happening at the moment, I do the same with my music.

A lot of people say I'm like a pop girl, but I don't know what that means.

I go to a club to relax and hear the music on a big sound system. I don't go to pull a guy.

I love clubbing - the abandon of it, the release of dancing, and being with my friends and the people I love. For me, it's never been about going out to meet guys or to show off my latest dress - it's the music.

I've always known my own mind, and I'm not shy about speaking it.
