Foster grew up with a family of singers and musicians, her father was in a fairly well known 1980s funk band[which?] who often rehearsed at home, she regularly fell asleep to the sound of live trumpets and saxophones practising away in the next room, that is when she decided to focus on her own music career.[1]
She is good friends with fellow Roll Deep featuring artist, Jodie Connor,[2] who gained Roll Deep their first number 1 single.
She studied at the BRIT School.
