I've seen how much effort has to go into a tour, the performance and also how to look after yourself, not just physically, but mentally too.

I lived in Peckham for the first 12 years of my life and then my mum and dad decided they really didn't want to bring up their children there. So they saved up money and bought a house in Plumstead, semi-detached, three bedrooms.

I actually remember celebrating National Poetry Day at school; I remember having to write and read a load.

At the end of the day, you sign a record deal and you understand where it could go if you had the right song.

A lot of young people have all these aspirations but many of them don't believe they're possible.

I like to think I don't make music for ignorant people.

My goal, my aim is to be a superstar, but not in a cheesy way. I want to go to America and do what they do. But better!
