When I went into high school, I don't know why - because I've been performing since I was little - but I think it was just the pressure of being somewhere so different, and I already stood out because I had an accent, and everyone always wanted you to talk, that I kind of shied away from singing a bit.
- Music

- Nov 07, 2020
I played soccer for nine years, so I took that route instead of singing. I played on the outside team as well as in school, so I was always playing soccer. It wasn't until I moved back to London that I really, like, started investing in music again and realized, OK, yeah, this is definitely what I want to do.

- Nov 07, 2020
As much as a lot of my music is very R&B, there's a bounce to it that obviously makes it easier to perform live. It's upbeat and uptempo.
- Feeling

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm very big on feeling.
- Mistake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's loads of eyes and expectations. People are almost waiting for you to make a mistake so they can say, 'Oh, she's a one-hit wonder!'
- Love

- Nov 07, 2020
I wanted to show people that I don't just make love songs that are about purely being in love.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was 12 years old when I first moved to New York, and at that age, you're trying to find yourself. It was hard being so different from everyone I was around, and I felt that nobody could really understand me because everyone was American, and I was this little English girl with an accent.
- Bigger
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think R&B is way bigger in America. It's not really that mainstream in the U.K.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A lot of people say 'Boo'd Up' reminds them of '90s R&B. It has that feeling, which is why I think people take to the song so much.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're in love, your heart and your mind are in sync, and everything just feels right. It's a special feeling.

People make careers off of Instagram. So in that sense, it's really good, and you can put yourself out there and be open.

I definitely believe that there are songs that, as artists, we don't know the full potential.
- Night
- |

I write in a diary every night to collect my thoughts. It's very therapeutic to songwrite, because it's the same thing.

I've learned a lot. I've seen a lot. I've grown a lot.
- Handed

- Nov 07, 2020
The first time I found out that 'Boo'd Up' went platinum, I was handed the plaque. They really surprised me. I thought we were gold, and then Mustard and my managers brought the plaque to my rehearsals and told me. I was like, 'You are lying!' Like, I couldn't believe it. I'm just honored, honestly. It's a great feeling.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To find out my song made the top 10 was honestly a dream come true. I think it's something that I've dreamed about, and anyone dreams about, their whole life.

I could never have imagined that, so early in my career, that I'd be ticking off boxes that I've dreamed about since I was a little girl.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like to leave things open to interpretation. But I also like to make a point. There's two meanings behind each EP title. With 'Time,' that was 'time to move on': you know, you've been in a bad situation; this is enough. But it was also time, in my life, for introducing myself, my first project I was putting out with Mustard. A new exciting time.
- Great

- Nov 07, 2020
I always felt like I could go to my mom and speak to her about anything. We have a great relationship.
- Media
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With social media especially, there's a lot of image issues that everyone faces because there's so much pressure on us.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As much as heartbreak music might be therapeutic, we all want love and long for that feeling. So if a song can give you that feeling, even without being in love, that's amazing.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's been cool to have my name mentioned when people say R&B is on the comeback and I'm the leading person. If you had told me at 16 that I would be that person - you're lying.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's harder for R&B to break in England because the radio and labels don't really know what to do with R&B music.
- Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's a place for R&B in the U.K. industry - a huge market. I hope that 'Boo'd Up' can be a testament to the fact. Sometimes, it takes you moving outside the box to prove that it can be done.

- Nov 07, 2020
A lot of the times, if relationships go badly, you concentrate on the negative. But in those situations, there is always a positive outcome that you can learn from. So, I like to concentrate on the lesson and how I can learn from this. I concentrate on me rather than concentrating on the actual situation.
- Doing

- Nov 07, 2020
There's a lot of young females doing R&B in England who are extremely talented and deserve more light on their stories.
