Pull quote: "maybe they wont even be able to understand me at all!"

Article: Norah Jones meets Jessie J in the form of Missy May, the bohemian eccentric and the critics’ favourite new artist of 2012, Her smooth tones and cheeky smile has charmed the hearts of the British public and now she prepares to conquer the giant that is the U.S.A. we were lucky enough to have obtained an interview with Missy as she graciously took timeout of her hectic schedule. We talked past achievements, plans to ensnare America and her must haves when travelling over the pond.

All That: Why Miss may you do look stunning, how on earth do you manage to look so calm and collected when it is well known that you are a busy lady?

Missy: [blushes and gives slight smile] Well now I wouldn’t say stunning. I’m just like everyone else, I do my own make up, there’s no top secret formula. Although I will confide in you [she leans forward] when no ones looking… I do have my little cheeky cat naps. I love my sleep.

All That: Let’s talk about your debut album, How does it feel to know you have touched the hearts of so many in Britain?

Missy: Oh it’s absolutely wonderful, and overwhelming. My album was incredibly personal to me it came from a lot of private experiences, good and bad. To know that the British public not only understand and empathise this but can also relate to me and my music is amazing.

All That: How to you think your music will translate over in America?

Missy: [Laughs] Well it’s quite daunting to be entirely honest. I have no idea how well I will do, a lot of British exports just don’t make it over there. They have such a different way of being over there, who knows they might not like my British sense of humour or think I talk funny, maybe they wont even be able to understand me at all! [smirks]
