I hate re-recording. I like singing, but I don't like recording a song over and over, making it too perfect.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I started singing when I was 8, and then when I was 11, I started writing my first songs.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
When I'm writing, I'll just say random stuff that doesn't make sense, and then a certain word that I keep saying will stick out, and I'll write from there.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
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.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I get loads of messages from people telling me they've been helped through some bad relationship when they've listened to my song. That's what I want to do.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I like a performance, a live performance, so I like little mistakes because that's what makes perfect - the mistakes.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
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.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Both my parents have been big influences on me wanting to do music. My mum's always been, 'Just do it. Just sing.'
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I used to blame myself for a lot of things, and I apologise loads. I don't do it any more, but when I was in the studio - and it was my song - I'd say 'sorry' every time I got a note wrong.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
When I first moved to London, I used to pretend to be on the phone. I used to talk about stuff that was going on out loud. To my phone! I don't do that anymore!
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I've always loved music since I was 11. I used to play keyboard, and I would write music. So since 11, I've been falling in love with music.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
The first song I wrote was when I was 11. It was called 'Life Is a Path Worth Taking.'
Quote by -Jorja Smith
With a label, pressure is added. Being independent, you don't feel a lot of pressure.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Did Amy Winehouse have a hit single from 'Frank?' I love 'Frank,' but people didn't really pay attention to her until 'Back to Black.' So no, I haven't had a hit single. I personally am not bothered about that.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I wanted to be pale. I didn't wanna go in the sun, because I was in school with a lot of white girls. I remember one girl said to me, 'You look better pale.' And I was like, 'Well, you're tan!' She was like, 'It's not the same.'
Quote by -Jorja Smith
So many people can tell me, 'You're amazing,' rather, but I don't think it. You know, so, I don't go around thinking this. I'm really hard on myself. I think that's quite good.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
When I put my first song out, I didn't put out any pictures. I just wanted people to hear my music.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I used to go to London by myself when I was 16. I think I got it from my mom. My mom was the type to just always just go off somewhere, wherever. She's a goer.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
I remember watching somebody called Esmee Denters doing covers that were really popular and wishing that was me. But I'm glad it wasn't. Things have worked out OK.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
Sound has always followed me. A lot of reggae when mum was cooking. I'd write songs with my dad or play him anything I'd worked on.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
There's this issue where I'm really doing well and got hate 'cause I'm too light-skinned. I understand why people say that - throughout history, the lighter you are, that's how it's been. But it's not my fault. My mom and dad had me! I look how I look.
Quote by -Jorja Smith
With make-up, I much prefer my natural face. I'm confident with myself like that, but when I wear make-up, I like to look like myself. I love dewy skin, a matte lip, and a bad highlight!
