Yeah.

And it's like she, like half of her was like this punk culture and then half of her, I still feel like she really embraced her heritage.

And I think, you know, being like a woman of color and being alternative as well, because I don't really feel like, you know, it's like, I guess queer and like the original sense of the word in terms of like living your life in a non like...

like a normal way whatever that even means doesn't mean anything but but having a pull towards things that are more curious and creative and a different way of living your life and then coming from a culture and living and looking a certain way can can be a balance you know yeah i think anyone that probably

like is of color and also is involved creatively or just in a curious way in alternative culture can probably relate to that.

I feel like she just absolutely smashed it at a time when there weren't many examples of women in punk bands that were like, even a woman that's in a punk band that's a lead singer that is,

of color and you know very political as well I feel like she did a lot for women and and she did a lot for me growing up I mean I always talk about her I'm really yeah like I really am so inspired and enamored by her

It's very relaxing here, by the way.

He's Bajan, like his family are from Barbados and I think that the way he was raised was maybe quite strict.

quite victoriana like we know it's kind of that very traditional west indian culture yeah no kids in the living room very respectful to elders don't eat around other people's houses oh really wash your hands all the time shoes off you know it's like very um particular like way of being raised um

And he definitely installed some of that in me.

So when I was a kid, I would shine my shoes before I went to school and iron my clothes.

I could always be really presentable.

And it just installed this

quite adult way of being in me I think when I was very young and and so that's carried on into my adult life although I'm definitely like a bit looser with it now I like to turn up and I like to do a really good job um I I always with no matter what it is like if I'm gonna reorganize my sock drawer like it's going to be the most organized so and if when I turn up on a job

I mean, I'll probably be like 20 minutes late, but when I get there, it's game on.

You know, like when I get there, it's once I'm on set, once I'm in the recording studio, once I'm in the rehearsal studio, like I lock in and it's my happy place.

And I like to be reliable for people in that way.

It's kind of why it's weird that even though

Like I'm such a free spirit as an artist.
