Nikola Rachelle chats to I Like Music

And that people want to be loved, they want to be entertained, they want to be captured in a moment. It hit me that people want to be entertained and want to be pleased at you, rather than immediately not pleased, they'd be delighted if they loved what you made. So, I guess, give it your all, because if you don't and you hold back, people won't be comfortable to enjoy your music. And, for me, it's all about the heart.

ILM: What bands are rocking your world at the moment?

NIKOLA: Muse! I love them to pieces. They just get an emotion and they just go with it in their music. Their words come back to that emotion, and it's like you just get completely caught up in where they're heading. It's like suddenly the Pied Piper comes along and you just follow ,because it's passionate and it's got life in it. I'm really excited about them.

I saw them live in New Zealand where my parents are from. They were phenomenal. I love how weird they are [ILM and Nikola laugh]

ILM: Yeah, but they just connect with so many people.

NIKOLA: They do, they really do.
