We got round to finding out he dead and the council came to check and as they opened the door the cats came running out and he'd been there for weeks apparently, but nobody knew because he had no family, and the cats ran off. We got accused of stealing them and that was a low point and we were like, Are you serious, get real, some manky cats.

ILM: You set up your own label once. What advice do you have for artists wanting to set up their own record label?

Estelle: I'd say find out about everything. Read up, do your research, and see what's going on. So before you think about starting a label, make sure you know what you're talking about when you go into a meeting. Find out all that stuff. But most importantly forget about the label stuff, just be true to yourself. Be true.

ILM: You've been making music since you were 18, how did you get into it, did you do any at school?

Estelle: Nah, I've been seriously singing since I was seven. I've been singing like a crazy thing, in Grooves With My Colours and everything. And I started working in a record shop, but I left them and said well I'm going to do what I'm doing. From there I went off and did what I had to do, going from one thing to another and just kept moving and meeting loads of people.
