I remember being like: ‘Whaaaaaat?’ I didn’t know it was going to be released by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg. I thought no, I thought it was a fantasy.”She added: “It was a good shock because it sort of proves I make good music.

I’m proud of [‘Watermelon Fantasy’] because Snoop Dogg took it over.”Jack Daley, a recording engineer, and Oliver Price, a songwriter and music producer, put ‘Watermelon Fantasy’ together in 2017 with Bruins, Mandy Priddice and Cedrick Letshou Olembo, while hosting music sessions at Daylight, a day centre for adults with learning disabilities, run by Islington council.“This is the biggest thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’m pretty certain I can say that this year has been the best year of my life because of it,” Daley said.Price added: “I still can’t believe it’s a real thing.
