I am doing really well thank you, just at home in Walsall, the sun is out.

Ahhh that seems like forever ago but also the other day. I was just so excited but also didn’t have any expectations. I had never uploaded music like that before so it was all like a whirlwind.
Starbucks was cute, I just dreamed all day of leaving, to be honest. I used to sneak into the stock room to record melodies.

I’ve been singing ever since I could talk, I believe (laughs). When I was doing my A-levels at school I realised I didn’t want to go to university. That’s when I decided I was going to move to London. I was lucky to have an uncle and auntie that lived in South East, so I moved in with them.

I had just been for a run, I hadn’t run for about a year and it was just so refreshing, blue skies, times to think. I came back into the studio and the producers Damedame* had the drums playing and one was on the guitar. I needed to shower but I was just too excited and wanted to sing. So, I got singing and just freestyled the melodies and some words were coming out like “try me” and “no challenge.” Then, when we got to writing, me and Damedame* had already spoken about being in the public eye and how things had changed from when I was 18 putting out music. We just got our conversations into the song.

It was more about being on stage and in front of so many people while not being able to tame the raging bull (people’s opinions and expectations of you). I feel I’m in a good place with myself and knowing who I am it’s easier to let everything else go or slide. And people are always going to have opinions no matter what and who you are.

Not really. It’s so funny, I don’t really like doing spoken interviews and people knowing too much about me and my life. But I’ll let it all out when it comes to writing. I’m just so much more comfortable between melodies, and sitting between instruments.

Jai Paul and Frank Ocean. My friends inspire me too, Wesley Joseph and Damedame*.

It depends on the day. Some days I might just voice note a melody and lyrics just come with it when I’m in my house.
When I’m with my friends making music, if they are on the piano or playing the guitar or a beat is playing, we just have the mic recording so if any ideas come we get them down.
Words come when I’m singing or they don’t at all. I always want to just sing so I’ll sometimes move on to something else instead of finishing writing a song. I’m trying to finish when I’m in the moment.

As soon as I heard the drums and piano, I was just imagining myself at a party and thinking about someone I wanted to speak to if I saw them there. So, I was just making up a story but it was semi-true. Little things for me, in this specific scenario of a party, could be something as little as some sexy eye contact – from the person I am trying to give or get attention from only though (laughs).

Yes, new album coming out on September 29th! I can’t wait, honestly, I can’t wait for it to be in people’s lives and for the songs to have a different meaning for everyone who listens to them. I can’t wait to be on stage and sing with everyone. That’s my favourite bit.
I feel like I’ve stepped into womanhood, and it sounds like it.

Aww, that was a beautiful show. All shows are special to me, being able to give my all and take in everyone’s energy is just so special. Wherever I am is special.

I just want people to feel, always have done. Just want to evoke emotions whether they are sad, happy or nostalgic. Just feel.
I’m not really good at explaining my music and songs, you just got to hear it. But I just love it and can’t wait to know what people’s favourites are.
