Do the days of being in Mis-Teeq feel a long time ago?
It feels a long time ago! It was such a massive, massive chunk of my life. They were some of the best days of my life. If it wasn’t for Mis-Teeq, I wouldn’t be here now. That was the time of my life because I was fearless. We were young girls and we were the underdogs signed to a tiny label. Everything we achieved was a massive deal because we came from nothing. When I heard Drummer Boy for the first time on the radio, I still had those same feelings I had when I heard a Mis-Teeq song on the radio. I’m so grateful I have that as I could become complacent but I’m not. It still moves me. I never take it for granted. I’ve been dropped from a record label and I know how it feels to not be in a record deal and how scary that is. I don’t want to feel like that again, and if it wasn’t for those two girls in Mis-Teeq none of this would have happened. Interview by Colin Gentry.
