Jorja Smith

I get loads of messages from people telling me they've been helped through some bad relationship when they've listened to my song. That's what I want to do.

I'm not with a label, so I haven't ever felt pressure to be a certain way. I've got a cool team who just love music.

I love SZA. She's great.

I've always loved music since I was 11. I used to play keyboard, and I would write music. So since 11, I've been falling in love with music.

I love anything about love.

I like to write about what I've seen and experiences I've been through.

I've been singing most of my life. There's nothing better I could wish to be doing.

Drake brought me out at the O2 in London and Barclays Center, and I'm on 'More Life.'

Both my parents have been big influences on me wanting to do music. My mum's always been, 'Just do it. Just sing.'

The first song I wrote was when I was 11. It was called 'Life Is a Path Worth Taking.'

I know I can sing; I can sing, and I like how I sound.

I wanted to be pale. I didn't wanna go in the sun, because I was in school with a lot of white girls. I remember one girl said to me, 'You look better pale.' And I was like, 'Well, you're tan!' She was like, 'It's not the same.'
