“Rock and roll album. Okay, so let's go learn the DNA of rock and roll and do it properly or read a book. Or I want to be an author of self-care or I want to learn how to, I don't know, I do the homework. I'm a big person. I'm a massive nerd in music. I do pop music, but I know a lot and people get really surprised. You know, I do play a lot of different genres and styles. All my inspirations come from me being a nerd and learning music, from composers to mixers, to producers to who did what, behind the scenes. It's like you have to do the homework. And then you have to convince people to do it with you. That's like another stage. You're constantly really just working, selling Yeah, I think, especially with everything that you do, you know, it's like ten thousand hours.”

“Yeah, it's true. You know, I think it's about longevity. It's about being a businesswoman. And I think it's really important to get the right team. You know, I've had the same team since I was 16. I don't really like changing people up around me unless I really have to. I like familiarity. I like consistency. Now, it's also about sacrifice. I think I've missed a lot of things, birthdays, family events, funerals, weddings, everything you can imagine for my job. So for example, going on tours, even going to visit things and seeing shows or going to get inspired and you have to always be willing to work and be consistent in getting inspiration. That's also a big thing for me. Creatively, I think you have to be wanting to achieve. Those things. So it's like, oh, I want to do a”

“Oh yeah, I mean, I'm not perfect. Everybody knows that. I think I've been a very transparent public figure, you know, and I've never sort of denied or I've always been super honest with my fans. And I will continue to do that and sometimes make mistakes along the way”

“But they're not always right, even the big guns, you know, like it's about your story. It's, you know, you have your own script that's about to be written out for you. And I think now I'm at this point where I wish I knew that because I can really dictate that now, which is really cool. But I think that comes with age. I mean, what you're going to do, you're young. You're not supposed to know all those things. You've just got to hope for the best.”

“Yeah, I was a naive, young dreamer, and that's exactly what you should be at that age. I mean, you're not supposed to be anything else. All you want is to just win and you want to do well and you want to impress. And I was backed up by some real big, big people, you know, Jay-Z and these huge artists that are timeless and fantastic. And I wanted to be as good as them. And so when I was 18, I was like, I would do anything to kind of be at that level. And everything that was given to me, I was sort of like, let's do it. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Sure. Because they must be right and I must be wrong because they're huge superstars and I'm not. So there was that as well that was going on.”

“Because I remember it was more about like I don't know, I guess growing up I was Me and my girlfriends, you know, we were really sort of like flamboyant, you know, with our like looks and we would wear makeup and we would wear all these crazy clothes and yeah, we did get attention for it and sometimes it was the wrong sort of attention, but we were just sort of kids figuring it out. But that's why I'm laughing because We were so not knowing now thinking back it was like we had no idea what we were doing But that was my first feeling of like oh people are liking what I'm looking like or they like what I'm wearing or oh that feels kind of good you know and then I got into the public eye and I was sort of like it's so intense It's not as controlled as it was when I was walking up and down Portobello market”

“Bad at least people will love me as a human, which is a real kind of I would say that and insecurity maybe. It is a bit of an insecurity sort of factor of wanting to feel wanted. But with music and with entertainment. Your job is to really be present for these people and really show up for these people and everyone that's watching and to take them out of their misery. And so Sometimes it's not about your misery or about what you're going through. And you've got to really just be selfless.”

“I think other than believing in the promises you should work on what your craft is to make sure that you can stand alone and not need anybody else to help you stand up. That might not mean a straightaway number one record. But at least you have your DNA, and that for me is timeless, and it can really help you in the longevity of a career. Having a quick one hit obviously is great, but then what? You know, and so that's what I've learned it's like not everything is gonna go, and then you're like, I'm good forever because it doesn't work like that. I wanted people to love me as a person and really sort of back me up because they liked me. And then came the music and then came the TVs and whatever else that we're doing. But it was just important for people to really feel like they know me. Because I felt like if everything”

“Long story short, it got around and they were playing this music because they were selling these songs to their artists. And then somebody said, okay, well, who's singing that? And it was me. And they were like, we want to meet this person. And that's kind of when everything started to click. And that was Jay Brown who works with Jay-Z. And that was the whole introduction to signing to Rock Nation.”

“I think he's okay now But I do think that there was a lot of fear circulating around that time of my life because I was like, I have to figure it out. But you know, there was a Steve Jobs quote and it's kind of like if you have a plan B, you're never really going to put your all in plan A. And I didn't have a plan B at all. It was like working in the shoe shop and then going to intern at the studio and hoping something is going to like figure it out. I don't know. Something was going to happen. And it did. This A&L lady came in. For another artist that was recording in that studio facility And there was a demo that I lended my vocals on because I needed somebody to sing it. The producer that owned that studio was making music with a lot of other producers and musicians. And he didn't have a vocalist to cover this one song.”

“I didn't know what I was going to do. I didn't have a plan. I just was like, I need to figure this out because I left college and my dad was so mad at me. And I mean, he didn't speak to me for ages. And he just wanted me to have a real secure future, which I understand. But I just, I said, dad, just let me do this for a year. And if I can't do it, I will go back to college. And now I'm 31 and I haven't gone back to college yet. It's never too late.”

“Show So, the reason why I think I got there is because I interned at a recording studio and I was making people tea and mopping the floors for free and delivering backing vocals for free for people that needed harmonies. Craig David being one of them. And I was there. I was ready. I was available. I was existing within the atmosphere and I was there at the right time. You have to be willing to get up and get out of bed and just be there. You have to show up whether it's like offering your work for a place and knowing you're not going to get paid, but you're going to be amongst musicians or something like that. Or it's about being heard. And, you know, I would sing at my dad's pub. I would on portfolio market working in a sneaker shop and I was controlling the music in the shop and I would play like a demo of mine and I would just try everything I could to just sort of be there, be present.”

“Because that's what I was looking up to when I was a kid. You know, all those singers I loved growing up were super relatable and super transparent. Tina Turner, who has the same birthday as me, so I never have met her RIP Tina, but I always felt so connected to her because I knew everything about her and she was so honest with her story. And so that's sort of the footprint I want to make. I want people to, you know, I know not everyone's going to. Like me, you know, it's normal. But at least they're going to know the story. Appreciate the climb.”

“Good question. I guess I got something to say. I think if you have something to say and you can create this following of honesty and you have this real fan base of people that think that they know you, I think that's something that could live on forever. And I think that's something that I inherit. I have this sort of genuine connection that I love people. I genuinely do. I love talking to people, hence why I got into TV. I do really enjoy communicating and making people feel what I'm feeling or trying to give people a sense of happiness or joy or just kind of being like, you know what? I get that too. Or, oh, she's just like us.”

“Yeah, because I think now it's not just about me. You know, I think ever since I started, I was always speaking I'd like to think on the majority of people that don't necessarily get the shot that I got, you know, coming from where I'm from. Being able to live my dream, if I didn't move to the UK, I don't really know what I would be doing. And so I was always really vocal about my gratitude and sort of like, this is possible. And that's why I work with UNICEF. And I go and do these trips as an ambassador because I see these kids and I really want to kind of put this hope in them. Yeah, that's a massive priority for me.”

“At such a high level, I mean, this person is one of the biggest actors in the world. And so I was like, what, how this person deals with that? I couldn't believe it. So it's nice to know that, you know, it's a common thought, I think, especially if you come from not a lot of money.”

“No. I never really understood when people would say, oh, I have the panics or oh, I got such bad anxiety. I was never really kind of like, but then it happened. I think it was the idea of losing. One I love that kind of put me into panic. I like structure. I like routine. I like trying to resolve situations. Security I was never really obsessed with it's weird I was more obsessed with like me just knowing that I have a routine to go to work you know I'm always in fear of losing everything that I've got I don't think they will ever go away and I actually spoke to somebody who's a very famous actor, and you'd never think in a million years that they have that fear. And he said that there is a therapist that just deals with the fear of losing the money, whatever it is that they're obsessed with or that they love.”

“Work. I just really throw myself into work or I try and find a project that I'm really passionate about to just sort of distract. I'm good at distracting myself for sure. Yeah. I mean, therapy's been an incredible thing that I've discovered, you know, since I was 26. I kind of started. And my mum always would say, You should do it, you should do it. Obviously, she doesn't use her sort of doctorness on us, but, you know, she was really adamant on us doing therapy. And then I finally, you know, again, you have to find it yourself. And so I did. And that really helps. But work is something I do really focus and distract myself with.”

“Just really do appreciate people, my parents, more than I did before. So, you know, like every kid, sometimes your parents kind of get on your nerves or you're like, oh, I can't stand them when they do this or that. But I always think like you just don't know when they're going to go. So I've really made it conscious effort to appreciate them more than ever. And if I ever see my siblings or the ones that I love kind of naturally just react out of instinct or something, I'm like, just remember, you know what I mean? It's like just your parents. You don't want that to be the last thing that you say to them. You know, that's where my head is at now.”

And it's like, obviously, we would have done anything to get our mum out of that pain, you know? Yeah, we don't really know what we were going to do, but we just went into sort of survival panic mode. Yeah, that was my experience. I was just really struggling with it. It was really hard for me.”

“Know, my parents worked really hard to get me into this school, which is a really famous school and it was a fantastic Sylvia Young Theatre school. And it's like, I mean, it was the best times of my life was at that school. But when my parents were, you know, struggling, my mum was ill. I just, I couldn't focus. I just couldn't focus in school. I was. Distraught, and I just kind of wanted to be. her all the time, but she didn't want us to see her like that, so you know, she wouldn't take us to her treatments and she'd wear a wig and things like that so she wouldn't really kind of, we wouldn't visually see the pain, basically.”

“Oh, yeah, it was really hard for me. Was like, I don't know why I always say this, but you know, I felt like my parents were like superheroes, like they were untouchable, undyeable, you know, and I was just almost like nothing is going to crack them. And then when I sort of saw my mum starting to kind of get weaker and weaker and lose her hair, I was thinking, oh my gosh, they can also die, you know, and it was almost like, what am I going to do? And I took it upon myself to try and find a solution. And obviously, you know, I couldn't. But you don't think that all the way through, you're just seeing your mum just kind of really weak. And, you know, I was skipping school and I just, you know, I just went rebel and it was really hard for me. Yeah, I just really went the opposite way.”

“Which I think sometimes could be really damaging, you know, especially if you kind of wake up not feeling good about yourself or you sometimes wake up and you're kind of like, oh, I'm not feeling it today, which is, I think what everyone goes through. And I definitely go through it. I've really got to remember, you know, there are other points that bring me joy. That's something I've been really working on, especially in my 30s. Now I'm getting a bit older.”

“Yeah, I relate to that. It definitely is one of my reasons of purpose, for sure. Which is a blessing also a curse because obviously if things don't always turn out how you want, it ends up crumbling more of you than you need it to. Does that make sense? So you kind of feel less than rather than remembering everything else that you've done because that one incident, for example, Gone how you wanted it to, everything's gone wrong. And I think that's something that I've been really working on as well with my therapist. It's almost sort of like compartmentalizing things. But because my life is my work, almost regulated my sense of happiness.”

And, you know, my mum, when she would get stressed, it would really impact us, me and my sister. And we always used to sleep together because, I don't know, I guess I didn't want to sleep alone.
