[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]9am
I freak out if life becomes repetitive or slips into the same rhythm, so every day is pretty much totally different. The 9am wake up moves several hours forward if I’ve been out the night before (which happens a lot), but in general, I like waking up around this time, so I don’t waste the day ’cause it gives me the creeps knowing that it’s light outside and I’m in bed. When I get up, I drink peppermint tea, have a shower, and have banter with some of my (eleven) housemates in our big shared kitchen. Then, it’s back up to my room to pick my outfit, bang out some morning vibe songs like Madonna ‘Into The Groove’ or anything off Rihanna ‘ANTI’ and, like the control freak I am, go through my to-do list and get all the little things I gotta do done.
11am
On days where I’m making music, I’ll leave my house by 11 and head to whatever studio I’m in that day. I work and collaborate with a lot of producers and other musicians, and some weeks I’ll work with three different people in one week. I love writing songs and making music. It’s my diary entry, my chance to vomit all my ideas into words and sound, and I love working with other people as I think that teaches me more things about the way that I work when one day I decide to make all my music on my own. I have a home studio setup, too.
1pm
I AM HUNGRY ALL THE TIME SO FOOD IS A V. IMPORTANT PART OF THE SCHEDULE. Tummy starts a rumblin’ at 1 most days.
5pm
Creatively, my brain gets fried after about 4/5 hours in the studio, and I don’t see the point in pushing it if you’ve had a good day of making a song and you hit a wall or get tired – there’s always tomorrow. Some studio sessions will be so vibey that you get to 9pm and forget the time. Others start getting weary at 3pm. Every time is different. After the studio, I’ll usually head to a skatepark to skate with a bunch of my skater girl n guy mates, to skate, have a laugh and plan things for Bowl Babes, a skate brand and organisation that my friend set up to encourage more girls to skate (check em out @bowlbabesltd). I grew up in North West London, so I usually skate ’round there, or in Camden.
9pm
I love the night. It’s when I feel most alert, and London really comes alive. Most things I write songs about happen at night. If I don’t have anything early on the next day, this is the time that I dump my board and bag at home, get dressed up, do my makeup and go out to a gig or a party. In music and fashion, there are a lot of free booze events which I get invited to so I just bring a mate as a plus 1 and get wasted and silly and then it’s to whatever afterparty is happening. On the weekend the warehouse I live in is a constant party vibe – I live on a road of warehouses and the one next door always has live bands or a sound system out playing jungle and funk. Good vibes all round. Then to bed.
