Who would you most like to collaborate with?
I think Maxwell and I would make beautiful music together!

What would your ideal working day consist of?
A day in the studio with a live band – simply vibing off each other.

When did you first realise you wanted to be a singer?
I’ve known for years. I think as far back I can remember, but didn’t always think it was a real option until I realised I didn’t have as much passion for anything else.

Which artist can you not go a day without listening to?
I can NEVER get sick of listening to Minnie Ripperton. She had so much emotion, a certain class and her music is timeless.
