For me, life is about embracing the unknown and finding joy in every moment. When I was a kid, my mother took me to a go-go bar where I learned not to judge people quickly. She wanted me to experience life's complexities firsthand. Instead of being uncomfortable, it taught me to observe and appreciate the beauty in differences.
My music often captures the essence of human emotions, from laughter to tears. When you connect with your true self, you become more authentic, and that's what my songs aim to convey. I'm all about embracing individuality and telling stories that resonate with people worldwide.
I've never been one for neat boxes or labels. As a Black woman artist, I want to share the full spectrum of human experience through my work. Sade is one of my inspirations, but while we share similarities in our love of soulful music, there's no knowing what she had for breakfast – it's the mystery that makes her so intriguing!
When creating art, you must balance vulnerability and protection. My role as Mma Ramotswe in "The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency" TV series was an incredible experience, but I wouldn't have done it without a director who trusted me to bring depth and nuance.
DJ AG's street performances sparked something special when I participated with him in Camden. It showed that art can transcend boundaries and be shared freely. As for my hypothetical teaching career, I'd want to inspire students through music-infused lessons, blending words with rhythm to make learning an immersive experience.
Lastly, it's amusing how often people get me confused with Jill Scott the footballer! Maybe one day we'll have lunch together – though, I think she'd find me more interesting than a game of football.
