All the buzz can be very much here today and gone tomorrow, but my focus is creating music that will last forever.

I am very much married to the job.

I moved from Stockholm to London, and I didn't want to work with my parents or have them help me in any way, I think just to prove to myself that I have my own talent.

I put a song on Soundcloud, and Annie Mac made it record of the week, and a month later, I signed my record deal.

My first-ever radio interview was with Annie Mac on Radio 1!

I want to make people dance, I want to make people smile, and I want my music to get played in clubs.

My mum is one of my style icons!

I have, like, 'Finders Keepers' fever now! Sometimes I go in the studio, and I'm like, 'That worked so well, and I wrote it in 45 minutes, so if I try wearing the same outfit and playing on the same piano, it'll happen again.'

I know I love going to my gym - I have a whole list of things I love to do by myself without needing someone else to make me happy.

There's so many inspiring women dominating the charts, so I feel like I'm definitely a part of a wave that's just really interesting and really cool.

I grew up in a house full of musicians, and my mum really taught me that when you listen to an album, you respect that it's somebody's art, and that the B-sides are just as important as the singles, and we should really listen to the album all the way through the way it was intended to be listened to.

I'm such a control freak that camping, for me, is difficult. I can't be this crazy, carefree person that wears the same outfit for four days.

A couple of days out of the month, I talk to my stylist, and we just get a big chunk of looks that'll last me a while.

I want to be known for my music, and that takes time.

Producing isn't my favourite bit about what I do, but the fact that I know how to do it gives me this sense of power in situations that are super male-dominated.

I've always been sure of my vision, but I've been in meetings where men have been talking about me like I'm not there... I've been told I should be a certain way, and I wondered if that would have been the case if I was a man.

I've been in two long-term relationships and - this sounds awful - they were really helpful for writing heartbreak. It makes good songs.

Music became my way of processing things and a way to gain confidence.

I was a sensitive kid.

Yes, sharing super-personal experiences is scary, but I can only get up on stage and perform it if I really connect with the music.

In the bathroom, having taken my make-up off and opened my eyes, I always think there's a ghost behind me. It feels like there's a weird presence. Maybe it's my brain reacting to me without make-up.

I don't want to be all over the place with my style and my music, but I am experimenting.

Coming from an R&B background, I was like, 'I'm gonna make slow jams.'

The important thing is that my music is getting a positive reaction and that people are connecting with it.

Having a Top 10 record changed my life a lot, you know?

I lived wherever my parents felt like making music, which had its ups and downs - I've had to move schools, but I've also seen a lot of amazing places and been on tour with my parents.

Being mainstream is fun.

I work hard, and I'm very separate from what my parents do.

I think there's something amazing about British soul.

Youssou N'Dour was really important to me growing up.

I've been working a lot with this girl Kelly Kiara. She's amazing. She's going to be super important for R&B coming out of the U.K.

I am very much my own person and my own artist.

I like to spend time alone before I go on stage.

I have a lot of energy in general, and I am pretty crazy.

I'm not going to lie: I'd love to win a Grammy.

I'm not embarrassed to say I want to be successful, but only on my terms.

I must have been five or six when I realised all the stuff I was writing made sense with what I was playing on the piano.

You have to be so careful with your voice, especially when you're using it every day.

It was such a wake-up call going to music school and being one among so many that are really good at singing.

I just want to make music that makes people feel good about themselves.

Kehlani is so refreshing in terms of R&B.

I'm pretty much writing all the time.

Destiny's Child's harmonies remind me of Earth, Wind & Fire.

What gives you real power is when you know your power. And I feel quite powerful.

I went to Glastonbury when I was 14, and that was really fun.

All my songs are things that have happened to me.

I've been making music since age five.

I wouldn't be who I am if my parents hadn't been musicians.

It sounds really cheesy, but as a woman, I feel like I sort of found myself.

I want people to really care when I release an album.
