Destiny's Child literally taught me how to sing.

I went to the Brit School for the performing arts in Croydon at 14, picking music as my main subject, and I'm so glad I did. I knew lots of people who'd gone there, so I always had my mind set on it.

I'm a big fan of Beyonce and Rihanna. I've listened to Beyonce all my life, and she's a big influence on me.

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

I used to play the piano when I was younger, and I loved Alicia Keys. I wanted to be Alicia Keys; she was such an idol to me.

I love writing songs where the name is the title.

I think as long as you're being creative and finding your own work interesting, that's all that matters.
