“Major Lazer followed me and reached out saying he wanted to do a sessi...” — Raye Quote

Major Lazer followed me and reached out saying he wanted to do a session. Which was sick, because I remember always saying to myself when I was younger, 'I'm gonna have a Major Lazer collab one day.'

I'm not interested in being a 'singles' girl, it's the last thing I ever wanted to be.

I learned how to work with other people really well. We would get put into groups and would have to work out what people's strengths are, when it would be time for me to suggest an idea or simply just go off and learn my part really well.

Don't put yourself in positions of vulnerability unnecessarily.

Doing two years at the BRIT made me realise exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I had got to the point where I had the opportunities and resources available to to focus 100% of my time onto my career.

I've followed Roma because my friend Miralem Pjanic is here. It's a great club. I have a good relationship with Miralem.

My dad even followed in my vegan footsteps a year after I did, and then my daughter and husband.

I've followed the NBA religiously since I was a kid, and now because of my boy Tony Parker, I'm a huge Spurs fan.

Sevran was a very, very difficult city. There was no money. I lived there with my family and it wasn't easy to stay focussed because I had some friends who are in prison today and maybe I would have followed that way.

I know that my fans, who have followed me for years, want to know what I'm doing.
