Not just a singer but also an ambassador for young females, a fashion designer, business owner and all round entrepreneur, Princess Nyah is set to take over the world. After the smashing the raves with her first single Frontline as well as Big Boys and Hooligans, she is back with some more funky, soulful fire for the clubs. Her newest single Butterflies which is taken from her mini-album Diary of a Princess, is out on the 28th of June. I caught up with Princess Nyah to have a bit of a chat about what she’s been up to…

So how is life for princesses these days?
I’m good – I’m really really good. I’m releasing Butterflies on the 28th of June, which is really exciting, and the video just went on AKA so everything is good!
Can you tell us a bit about the track?
Well it was produced by ill Blu and written by me. The song is about having a crush on somebody and being their friend and not knowing whether or not they like you back. Because you’re friends with them, it’s like how do you tell them or how do you find out whether or not they like you too.
You just described my life for the past year Nyah!
It’s not just your life though – It’s every girl’s life!
How did your Major Lazer remix come about?
Well I was working on a mixtape at the time and it was actually one of the tracks on there but they actually chose my version as the official remix, which I was really excited about. You can actually buy it now on iTunes. Originally I gave the track to one of my friends who played it on the radio and then someone else did and then the label got into contact with my manager and said they really liked it. Diplo really liked it and they made it the official remix. I met Diplo when they came over recently and they were really cool.
Amazing! And how are things going with your clothing label?
I’m still pushing really hard with the fashion side of my work as well. My website is going through a re-vamp at the moment and that will be launched at the end of the month. There are lots of new designs and everything is going really well with that too.
What else are you working on at the moment?
I’m working on new material musically and getting ready for world domination really. I’m kind of working on an album but not really officially. I’m just doing some really exciting things and I can’t wait to share them with the world.
So it’s all go for you right now then?
Yes! I’m currently working harder than I’ve ever worked in my whole life. Everybody says to me “don’t worry, you’re going to get there” but it’s like there’s not really anywhere to get to. There’s no destination really – you just have to work hard and enjoy each stop. It’s like you’re on a train and you get off at every stop, and each destination just gets better and better!
Butterflies is out on June 28th so make sure you get that and watch the video below:
