Jess Glynne : (4) " My sound comes from my inspiration, which is people like Aretha and Jay Z and Kanye, as well as everyone from the Whitneys and Mariahs to Destiny’s Child and Usher. They all inspired me growing up. " - Jess Glynne " At primary school, me and my best friend used to do D.I.Y. assemblies, and we’d do it as many times as we could until we got banned! We used to sing ‘Hero’ by Mariah Carey; it was, like, my favourite song; we were obsessed with it. We’d do it as a duet, and it’s the first I remember performing. " - Jess Glynne " I like everything I wear to be in sync. " - Jess Glynne " Singing is actually my favourite thing to do in the world – so when you don’t consider yourself as talented at anything academically, and there is one thing you’re good at, I think it’s best to follow what you’re good at.
