A biography for Fleur Easthasn’t been written yet.
“I'd love to write with some people from the U.K., like Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sande... there's a very long list.”
“Everyone assumes it is just 'Wendy who works at Tesco' who goes to audition for 'X Factor,' and then their lives are changed, wham, like that. Me, I am someone who has tried for years in the music industry.”
“I hated my big hair. I always wore it straight.”
“I put pressure on myself all the time. I felt it so much with 'Sax,' but I had to just let go and enjoy it.”
“After my first video, I went out and had chicken noodle soup with my sister and manager. We were like, 'How rock n' roll are we? Celebrating the first video with chicken soup.'”
“I'd done an EP, and nothing came from that, and I didn't know where to go from there.”
“Even writing verses from my first album, there were songs that I didn't use because I just felt that they weren't really for me. But I think that happens naturally when you write songs. You're in a different mood in every session. There's so many songs out there that could potentially be used by other artists.”
“There's so much pressure, but I think if you really love it, if you truly love it, and it's your passion to sing, then that's what will get through. I think if you don't have that, you'll realise quickly.”
“I remember, one day, I just printed out about a hundred CVs, and I was running around London. I was going to modeling agencies, temping agencies, anything. I was so desperate.”
“I got to the point where I'd featured on songs; I'd done backing singing for major artists. I'd done all these shows, but it was always for other people.”
“I've always loved working out. When I was little, my dad used to make me and my sister do 10 press-ups every day before we brushed our teeth in the morning. It was like a boot camp! Then I did a lot of athletics at school and was a dancer.”
“Everyone's path is really different, and you just have to be in the right place at the right time. 'The X Factor' gave me that chance I needed, that platform.”
“I'm a believer in things happening for a reason.”
“I've waited so long to get to this point, and I'm so happy to be making my first album. I want to be a performer and an entertainer.”
“I do loads of squats with weights. It's great for your bum and legs.”
“I used to just sit in the living room and make up songs on the keyboard.”
“I've worked in a call centre and as a nightclub waitress. I served champagne to Rihanna.”
“I've been hyper-conscious about staying away from rubbish. I don't eat white bread, white rice or cereal unless it's porridge.”
