Both my parents have been big influences on me wanting to do music. My mum's always been, 'Just do it. Just sing.'
When I'm writing, I like to have a tiny bit of fact and then exaggerate it and turn it into something more people could relate to.
I like a performance, a live performance, so I like little mistakes because that's what makes perfect - the mistakes.
One Christmas, I wrote a nativity play. But nobody turned up on the day of the performance apart from my brother and my cousins, so I just read the whole script onstage and made my brother pretend to be one of the animals at the inn.
I like being someone else. 'A Prince' is not about me, but I can pretend for the three minutes of the track. It's great being able to do that, 'cos I enjoy telling stories.
When I am writing music, I sometimes envision a video playing alongside.
We are all beautiful in our own individual and special ways.
Independence is doing what you want to do, knowing that you're happy with the decisions you're making and that it's the best for you.
