“I want to show everybody the diverse me and show people that I can do a tune on an R&B song, I can do a tune on a house song, I can do something on an Afrobeat. I really want to show that.”

“Any songs that I like, I sort of rinse them out.”

“I honestly felt someone was having me on when they were like, 'Drake wants you on this track.'”

“Fingers crossed, you'll hear a lot more of me.”

“I got married and had a baby, so I was doing the mummy thing. I got hyperemesis and was only supposed to go away for maternity leave, but then it ended up being three or four years, and by that time, it was hard to get back into the music world, so when Drake called, it was the perfect opportunity.”

“When I left school, I went and bought my own sound system, and me and my dad would just go along to all the pubs and clubs around the local area and just sort of do our own little cover shows.”

“Aaliyah was one of my favourite artists.”

“I love being a mom. I love singing. Why can't you have both? A lot of people would say you can't, but I think you can balance it; if you work hard, and you plan everything out properly, it works.”

“I've always been a fan of Drake's. I wouldn't say I listen to all of his music, but I would say that I pick tunes out of his that I love and then put them on repeat.”

“I'm never not singing.”

“Dreams do come true if you work hard and you get your head down.”

“When I was first going out to funky events, it was a lovely kind of music to dance to - it had such a nice vibe.”

“I remember at one stage, I was like, 'Oh no. I'm going to be remembered as the 'Do You Mind' Girl.'”
