I Work Because I Think That I

I Went Through A Huge Transition In My Life Where Everything And Everyone I Knew And Trusted Didn't Turn Out To Be That Way.

I Really Went Back Through A Lot Of The Dark Corridors Of My Life In This. I Wanted People To Know Who I Am Based On My Music, Not On What They Read In The Tabloids.

I Have Loved Music So Much From When I Was Little And I Don't Know Whether It Was Because I Saw My Dad Doing It And Then I Got The Idea, I Don't Know What Came First... But I Always Had A Hairbrush In The Mirror Singing. I Was Always With Him Backstage; I Would Go Out And Be Pulled In For The Last Song.

A Couple Of Months Ago I Hauled My White Ass On Stage Alongside Chaka Khan And Stevie Wonder For Divas Las Vegas, Singing In Front Of A Celebrity Audience. If I Can Hold My Own There, I Can Hold My Own At Top Of The Pops, Trust Me.

I Would Describe My Aesthetic As Definitely Personal And Harmonious With An Eclectic Yet Bohemian Sensibility.
