I don't want to be cliched, but Buckingham Palace is beautiful, and the old red telephone booths are really interesting to me. I've always wanted to see those.
From Alessia Cara
Ninety per cent of my family are hairdressers, and the other 10% are construction workers.
Music was something I found on my own. I got my first guitar when I was around 10, and it just all developed over time.
Other than the 'Sesame Street' soundtrack, which I was obsessed with, the first artist I really felt I'd discovered on my own was Amy Winehouse. She was the first female artist I wanted to write like and sing like and be like.
I was always so scared to sing in front of people. That was kind of my weird thing.
My house was very strange. I didn't do things other kids did because my parents were very strict - I stayed at home, quiet in my room.
I wanted to get through high school anonymously.
Flannel shirts, denim, Converse, a guitar, messy hair? That's literally me.
I'm not extremely outgoing, but I'm average, I think. When people meet me they'll say, 'Oh you're not that shy...' I never said I was! I see where they're coming from because my biggest single was about being shy at a party - I get it. But it's not 100% accurate.
I've never really aspired to the spotlight; I just wanted to do music, which is kind of weird because music comes with that spotlight.
