"We chat about ego and the spirituality of music. And how hard it is to sing a cappela. I cannot imagine getting onto a stage and doing what Ella is doing. Standing up there with you and an instrument and singing your heart out about the most personal stuff in your life. I asked her at one stage if she thinks it would be easier to use a persona on stage and she says no. She uses personas in her day-to-day life, when she’s on stage she has to be her honest self."
