“I’m so obsessed with Cardi B. I do nothing but sit and watch her Instagram videos.”

My goal is to get my music out to as many people as possible. That a song of mine is being played on the radio so far away from home really, really pushes me. It’s everything I’ve dreamed of.

My gang sign is the love heart.

I’m learning to accept myself. I’m still in the process of learning to love who I am.

Social media can sometimes influence the charts, but I think that only great music makes it to the top. The good songs make it.

I’ll bring you flowers in the pouring rain.

I still take a lot of pride in being able to write my own songs. My story’s coming from me.

Success, to me, is just doing things I’m really proud of.

I love Pink and Nelly Furtado – the honesty and truth in their lyrics. I also love Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper.

Don’t talk to me or my son again.

I can’t dance. If I try, I’ll trip onstage.

I never really wanted to base success on charts and chart positioning. For me, it’s really about the shows and seeing them grow.

The brighter the hair the closer to god.

I’m heavily influenced by the Nineties – I love juxtaposing a slip dress with trainers and a vintage leather jacket.

A classic with a twist.

The first album I was given when I was quite young was the ‘Whoa, Nelly!’ album by Nelly Furtado. After, I also got the ‘Missundaztood’ album by Pink. That’s when I was like, ‘Oh my God, I want to be just like them!’

For a male artist, people instantly assume they write their own music, but for women, they assume it’s all manufactured.
