Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders, the Pink Pony Club singer says she's not afraid to do her own thing when it comes to her artistry.

Known for her drag aesthetic, extravagant costumes and punchy lyrics, Chappell's also shown she's fearless outside of her music, more than once coming under fire for speaking out on issues close to her heart.

"I think that's so needed," she says. "To be able to break the rules."

And she doesn't think she's alone in pushing the boundaries, saying she admires the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX, who she'll be headlining Primavera festival with this summer.
