Charli XCX has said she wants to create a musical "empire".
The singer loves creating music and penning tracks for other artists, hoping to extend her reach as far as possible.
Speaking in the new issue of Seventeen magazine, Charli explained: "I'm going to build an empire. I'm always writing for someone else. I want to be someone who has her fingerprints all over the pop charts."
She went on to insist that whilst she doesn't make punk music, she incorporates elements of the genre into her own sound and considers her ethos to be punk.
"I don't make punk music - I make pop that's inspired by elements of punk.
"For me, as a person, am I punk? In the sense that I do what I want and I enjoy going against the norm, I suppose I am."
Charli insists that she isn't worried about coming across as 'cool', and would instead prefer to be "nice and fun".
"When you're growing up I think there's this idea that the coolest people are the ones who are really rude and feverish. But I've come to realise that isn't cool.
"I think the best people are the ones who are just nice and fun. This is really cheesy, but you only have one life - why spend most of it pretending to be cool?"
