Look, everything that you experience as a kid is the foundation of how you are today. I was brought up in a working class family in Leeds and when it comes to money both my parents worked hard and instilled the same attitude into me.

I don't have any pressure on myself. I don't have a big record label backing me. I'm doing it all myself.

You never can expect what people's reactions are going to be. You can only hope that everyone feels the way that you do.

It's all about embracing your inner beauty and just living for yourself.

You've gotta be business savvy really, or else you get the piss taken out of you.

I represent the mixed race community, which I think gets left out a lot. I always describe myself as being mixed race.

If my senses don't feel right then I don't do it.
