WHERE WERE YOU BORN AND RAISED AND WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW?
I was born and raised in London and have lived in Battersea most of my life.

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR PRESENT CITY OR YOUR HOMETOWN?
I absolutely love London as a city especially in the summer when we get hot days and everyone sunbathes and has little gatherings and picnics in the parks and commons.

WHAT WERE YOUR INFANT ASPIRATIONS?
When I was little I wanted to be a ballerina. Then I wanted to be Britney Spears.

WHAT HAS BEEN A PIVOTAL MOMENT?
Performing my song with Big Narstie on the Craig David Tour at Wembley Arena was a big deal for me. I had seen so many of my favourites artists on that stage then to be up there myself was quite special.

WHY MUSIC? 
I love music all kinds. I love writing songs and I love dancing around with my friends listening to it. So it's my ideal job really. If I can make songs other people can dance around with their friends too, I'm very very happy.

HOW WOULD YOU CLASSIFY YOUR SOUND?
I found it quite hard to describe my sound in a genre as each songs quite different. But I guess we could call it dance/pop.

WHAT THEMES DO YOU PURSUE THROUGH YOUR LYRICS?
I don't think I have a theme. But my first two singles have had a positive vibe And my next one "Waved", has a similar feel good aura.

IS THERE A SONG OR MUSICAL PASSAGE THAT NEVER FAILS TO MOVE YOU EMOTIONALLY?
"Fix" you by Cold Play, "Love on Top" by Beyoncé, and Chance the Rapper "Blessings" will forever be on my playlists.

WHAT OR WHO HAD THE GREATEST INFLUENCE ON YOU?
There are lots of strong women in my family who have had a big influence in my life. My Mum and aunties, their hard work ethic and passion. Then of course there is King Beyoncé.

WHAT’S YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS?
I often get a little melody or line come to my head when driving and running. Then I do a voice note and finish it off either in the studio or writing so it's ready to work on in my next session.

HOW WOULDYOU DEFINE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?
Casual, Sexy, Cool. I'm either super comfy and casual or all out dressed up and I love both.

HOW DOES YOU AESTHETIC TRANSLATE IN OTHER ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE?
I love travel and architecture. I could spend a whole day wondering around in Paris looking at beautiful doors. I like to hang out in pretty places, and fresh flowers are everything.

HOW DO YOU GET STAGE READY, ANY BEAUTY RITUALS YOU SWEAR BY?
A good make up artist! When I do my own make up I never feel finished when someone else does it I feel stage ready.

HOW DO YOU SPEND A DAY OFF?
Chilling with friends and family, eating, laughing and relaxing. Right now GOT is back so that's the best. Catch up on a few episodes.

HOW DO YOU RETURN TO CENTER?
Taking a moment for mindfulness. Deep breaths and clearing the mind. Even if it's only 30 seconds it really works for me.
