Songstress Paloma Faith has confessed that when she first started singing she was lacking in confidence so took some time off and had another go when she turned 21-years-old. 

She explained that getting older taught her a lot about how to present herself and she began to feel more comfortable, which in turn encouraged her to pursue a career in the music industry:

"I just didn't have the confidence or think I was very good. I then started again when I was 21. I was working in a bar, and I got roped into being the frontwoman of the band of someone worked with. I did it for a laugh, just a bit of fun, rather than with any serious aspirations to make a career out of it."

Faith is also currently working with Samsung's Launching People campaign to discover new talent and added that she feels confident in helping people with their own careers so is excited about the project: "I've already got a bit of a reputation for helping people with their careers. It's genuinely something that I love doing."

"I used to be a promoter for a few people who have gone on to have huge careers, like Adele. I've been asked a number of times to be involved in judging panels for TV shows and other talent initiatives, and turned them down because of the format."
