SE 2: 3:- Heidi Petite - #CREATIVEGIRL: Singer, songwriter, creative girl gang founder, superstar in the making & only 21!

January 06, 2016

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 3 of #WEARYOURDREAMS, hosted by Alice Oluyitan and featuring inspirational conversations with girls in business.
This week, Alice has a chat with Heidi Petitjean, aka Heidi Petite! Heidi is a folk and R&B singer and songwriter, and she also explores the world of art with colour, mixed media, and vinyl work. She is also the founder of Confetti Crowd, which is the UK's 1st official girl gang of creatives. With her friends in Confetti Crowd, Heidi has worked with cool brands like Nike, Schuh, and Lamoda, and she has been flourishing with the London music and fashion scene with her cool music & colourful style.
Here's what we learned from Heidi:

It's so important to be yourself. You can't please everyone, so don't be afraid to push the boundaries!
Stop worrying so much about what other people think. You can't impress everyone, so try to do what makes YOU happy! It'll only ever make you a stronger person.
If you have a dream that you're really passionate about, then it IS possible. Make that phone call, send that email, take that course - do everything you can to make your dream come true!
We've said it many times before, but it's SO true: push past your fear to make your dreams come true! If you have an idea that you're really passionate about, you just have to go for it! Heidi said that her first musical performance was the scariest thing she'd ever done, but it was also the greatest thing she'd ever done. She pushed past her fear and took the plunge, and now all of her dreams are coming true!
