Anne-Marie

The BRIT awards is a really great occasion, especially for us Brits, because it shows the talent and support coming from our country.

When you're coming out new, it's harder as a girl to gain fans because most of them are girls, and they can be like, 'Do we like her?' If I were a boy, it'd be much easier.

When I was growing up, I was surrounded by people that were listening to a lot of pop music.

I've written a lot of songs from watching women speak about women empowerment.

I think Rudimental was a massive part of my life and such a great place and people and learning curve to be a part of.

My aim is to just make people feel good and happy.

For me, I try not to set any goals or try and see what's gonna happen, because I don't wanna be let down or disappointed that something didn't happen the way I thought it was gonna happen.

I honestly always really try to get people to share their feelings. I always say to everyone that communication is key.

All the kids at school would bully me and always wanted me to fight them. I never did, but if I wanted to, I totally could.

I've always been the kid to want to do anything and everything.

More people know who I am, but I don't feel any different within myself - I think that's the main thing.

I try and be just completely me on stage. I try and put that across, and people seem to get that personality that I have, so I do try not to become two different people and two different faces.
