Katy B wanna be appear on stage alongside Alicia Keys.

The singer's debut album On A Mission is present for the Mercury Prize, is keen to make music with the Empire State Of Mind star.

"My dream collaboration would be Alicia Keys, definitely. When I was younger I used to play the piano and when she came out I was like, 'this is why I've been learning the piano'.

"Because I just wanted to be her, I bought all her scores and I used to write my own songs on top of her chord sequences and stuff like that."

Katy B has revealed she is on a mission

Katy B has revealed she is on a mission - to make sure that this year's Mercury Prize is a woman.

Katy, whose debut album is nominated for the award this year, Adele, Anna Calvi and PJ Harvey is facing stiff competition from other female artists.

The 22-year-old said: “I’m going to place a bet on all the girls. Not many women have won the Mercury Prize, so hopefully we’ll have a chance this year.”

On A Mission star Katy admitted she was shocked to still prestigious shortlist. “When I made the album I didn’t think for a second (I’d get nominated). I didn’t really look into the future that much, I just enjoyed making it at the time and working with the producers.”

Manchester-based four-piece Everything Everything, up for their album Man Alive, said their mothers were first to hear the good news.

Lead singer Jonathan Higgs said, “They’re sworn to secrecy – my mum’s in a tiny village in Northumberland, so perhaps Doreen from the post office found out, but I think she kept her mouth shut”.

Bandmate Jeremy Pritchard joked: “If we won we’d lend the trophy to our mums on a shift basis.”

Fellow nominee Ghostpoet – real name Obaro Ejimiwe – said he splash out their Jack Russell Stanley profit if they had won.

“I’d pay my bills, take the missus on holiday, put a studio together and buy stuff for the dog – he needs a new bed and a new collar. He’s a bit of a greedy dog, so I’ve got to be careful. He’ll want diamante and all that.”

He added: “I’m just so humbled to be here. Being nominated is enough for me. The idea of winning is just too much for my brain to comprehend.”

Katy B first single "Katy on a Mission" is actually very good

Unfortunately for the first time Katy B's stage name is selected because no one in the world famous American pop Katy Perry Without thinking about it will be worth watching.

Hard Rock Calling

Katy Perry is less famous in Katy B’s home country of England than she is here in the USA.

It is a pity, because Katy B first single "Katy on a Mission" is actually very good. It is attractive and interesting while it's still enough to join the mainstream of electronics is quite real.

Katy is the best part of the song's vocals. That spells and high-pitched, drawn out vocals and her beautiful voice and alters the course is attractive.

The vocals verses, where they clash with staccato electronic beats are more harmful, but the overall sound without the ugly song feels experimental, and interesting to listen to.
