Chick Corea was a great influence on me, musically, as I was growing up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I actually met Chick Corea in New York, where I was staying with a bass player friend.
Music was very influential on me as a kid.
I haven't done anything with Chick Corea. He had a group called Return to Forever, and everyone in the group became a superstar. I would really like to work with him.
There were musicians that influenced me, but they weren't all women. Teena Marie was a big influence because she wrote and produced her own music, which let me know that women could write and produce their own music, which was an empowering moment for me.
I was raised around music.
I was always that girl who loved music and thought of music as an escape route.
Chick lit was amazing, and I was thrilled to be part of it.
I grew up listening to a lot of different types of music, and R&B in particular was something that I loved - Aaliyah, Usher, Alicia Keys, TLC.
My biggest influence growing up was Avicii, who put me onto creating the sorts of melodies that feature throughout my songs today.
The biggest musical influence on me was my mum. We were both enraptured by music.
