What 'Escapism' did, of course I'm over the moon about that - but if that's the biggest moment that I ever get then so be it but I'm never going to stop doing what I love.

There is so much darkness and pain in this world we live in, and I wanted to create something both as deeply personal and as raw as I could find myself to be about my own mind and the world I see around me.

I remember when I was younger watching interviews with Lady Gaga and Beyonce, and the one thing they would say is that you have to work hard to be successful. I thought, 'Okay, if I want to achieve my dreams, I'm going to have to sacrifice all my time and work as hard as I can.' I was really inspired…

That's kind of the artist I like to be, transparent, honest. I think that's what I'm like in real life.

I grew up in the church around my mum singing in the choir and my dad leading worship. Music runs in my family.

I'm no stranger to a corner shop. That was my second home, growing up.

Always support the women around you. I think that's so important.

I was having to go out there and be this happy pop character when, in reality, I was processing this unaddressed trauma and coping with an immense amount of pressure.

I've taken control on a very personal level to reach out to a lot of the people who have hurt me or crossed a line - I've confronted it head on.
