I really love jazz, but I will never be a jazz musician as much as I dream. But, I think that the jazz music I love is there in my music.
I always said when I was younger, I wanted to write film music, and I think that's what my ultimate dream is.
I come from an African Caribbean background. I've been influenced by a reggae church music style, contemporary gospel, and rock all fused together.
Topshop is one of my favourite shops, and I love shoes by Giuseppe Zanotti. There's a graduate fashion designer called Kate Falcus who makes me beautiful commissioned pieces - one of my favourites was the white Glastonbury dress she made me with the puffy skirt.
When I was 13 my dream was to play the U.S. Open. Now it's to win it.

The thing you don't dream about as a kid is all the peripheral stuff that comes with success.
Dream more than others think practical.
My aunt is the director of the acapella group Black Voices. I was so struck by them as a child. They sang with such passion and conviction.
