Life is a riot for British pop singer Katy B
"I always end up at Brixton McDonald's at three in the morning, drunk, and holding a Filet-O-Fish," she giggles.
"But I can't do that anymore. My record company says I need to be aware of the dangers." Such as?
"Oh, they think I'll be kidnapped," Katy B says.
"There are some idiots out there. It only takes one person who thinks they're being funny by punching you in the face. I have to be sensible and streetwise."
Born Kathleen Brien, Katy B, 22, is from the tough streets of Peckham, south London, where rioting broke out last week. She graduated from the BRIT School, a performing arts hot spot.
Katy B did a degree in popular music, but concedes: "I hated reviewing my strengths and weaknesses at nine in the morning with a hangover. Most music courses are like that - analysing and evaluating yourself."
Katy B is now in a place where critics are dissecting her debut release, On A Mission, and musing about its effect on the popscape. It has also been nominated for Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize.
The album began humbly enough, as a potential showreel for DJs at underground London FM station Rinse.
But as collaborations with Rinse players Geeneus, DJ Zinc and Benga took shape, the focus shifted back to Katy B. "I didn't make this album for a pop audience," she says.
"I started out singing soul and jazz but I got bored. I don't want to be another Joss Stone. I wanted to involve all my musical influences, not just a genre that makes me want to sing."
Her time at BRIT School taught her to cast her ideas far and wide. She studied abstract composers such as John Cage and Steve Reich. "We also performed (classic Beatles albums) Sgt Pepper's and Abbey Road on Indian instruments. That was random," she says.
But she was in a place of learning with likeminds. "There were 30 other 16-year-olds who were passionate about the same thing as you.
