Jorja Smith wishes she had a stage name

OHMYGOSSIP — Jorja Smith wishes she had a stage name so she could “differentiate” herself from her on-stage persona.
The ‘Don’t Watch Me Cry’ hitmaker loves being on stage but admits she wishes she could “switch off” from her famous life from time to time and regrets not choosing a different moniker for performances.
She said: “I don’t like anything outside my house. I like being on stage but that’s all I like. I don’t like anything else. I love everyone, but I just like being by myself.
“That’s why I used to go home quickly after school. I thought, why the f*** didn’t I change my name? Why did I give myself my actual government name? I can’t switch off. There’s nothing to differentiate. But I don’t know what the difference would be? Maybe I wouldn’t be Jorja Smith?”
And the 23-year-old singer is fed up of being “told what race she is”.
Speaking to THE FACE magazine, she shared: “It’s confusing as f***. I grew up being Black. My dad told me I’m Black. It wasn’t until I did music that I was told I’m not Black. People comment that you’re not Black and it’s like … wow. When you’re mixed race, you get told what you are … I saw people posting that people with big platforms should be saying something. In my head, I was like, I don’t know what to say – but I swear I write about this. What happened to George Floyd has been happening forever and now it’s happened again – as it always does. Another Black man getting killed by the police, again.”
