Congratulations on your grammy! How does it feel to get your first grammy?
Frankie:Thank you! Its… strange I really didn't expect it! Yesterday I watched myself collect the award I've never seen something so horrendous! I cringed through the whole of my acceptance speech. In my opinion I don't deserve my grammy because I'm just an ordinary brummy girl.

What do we need to know about your new album R2R?
Frankie: Its called R2R obviously which basically stands for Rags to Riches , This album is about my upbringing in life and the struggle to get where I am today. But it's not all about the struggles its also features some of my career highlights. Being brought up in Birmingham isn't one of the easiest things purely because no one knows anyone. R2R will take on journey and will connect with all listener on a personal level. I released the album in December and its still number one I'm so proud of that. I worked with incredible people on this album and its great that they are all getting credit where its due.

How does it feel to be a star?
It's completely different to how I expect it to be. Ever since I was a little girl I always dreamt of being on stage. The crowd roaring, I'm dolled up and i’m doing the thing the one thing I love. But I didn't dream about the preparation to being on stage. I didn't realise how much stress it takes to do a live a performance and I've got to stay physically fit so I'm down at the gym pretty much everyday.
You started working towards your career at age 16, If you could go back in time and give your younger self some advice, what would it be?
Frankie: I would tell myself a lot of things. One of the main things I would tell myself is to listen to my heart and not others. I am now at the stage in my life where I am not so concerned with other people's opinions about my life decisions, it's my life I can do what I want as humans we learn from our mistakes.
Why did you start working towards achieving you dream so early in life?
Because I was brought up in Birmingham I found that I didn't have much opportunity to showcase my talent. So at the age of 16 after my GCSE’s I moved to London with some of my extended family as a stepping stone. That was one of my best decisions in life as I seriously don't think I would be where I am today if I didn't move to London.
I hear that you are going on tour soon, is it true?
Frankie:Yeah, Im so excited! This is going to be my first ever tour I don't know what to expect. There is millions of questions running through my head but I have a great team working with me so I should be fine. Ive done hundreds of gigs but I haven't done them night after night. Im so nervous right now but as soon as I get on stage my nerves should just vanish. My first show is in under a weeks time and I'm kicking off my tour where it all started in Birmingham. It should be great to go back I hope I get a great welcome.
Why are you auditioning for an all female band to come on tour with you?
Frankie: I'm used to all males. I grew up in a house with so many men! I have 5 brothers and no sisters so I just want to know what it now feels like to live and spend the majority of my time with women. I love being around my girl friends and getting the latest gossip, I love being around talented, supportive and inspirational people. However I feel that women offer more support and they're always ready to listen whereas with boys it seem like a chore for them. Being away from home for such a long time is going to be hard but I think have girls to take my mind off home will also help. Forget performing to a crowd I would rather sit on the tour coach in my pyjamas with a cup of hot chocolate and catch up with the crew.

The gossip sites are always saying something about you. Do you stalk them? Do you ever feel like posting an anonymous comment?
Frankie: I try to avoid looking at those kind of sites. But living in 2014 makes that hard as technology is everywhere. However I do not go out of my way purposely to look at them. I’m only human, I do have feelings if I wasn't to take their comments with a pinch of salt I think I would be somewhere else than here and under a rock crying.

Where do you see yourself in one years time?
Music. My love for music is unreal and if I'm not still involved with music in someway on another in a years time I will be so upset. I feel that music completes me as stupid as that sounds. Music is the only thing I know, and it's the only thing I do well. I would like to have released my second album by 2015 you heard it here first. It takes a lot to make album and who knows i may have already
