VICE: To begin, can you tell me a bit about your early life and career? Icy Spicy Leoncie: I was born and grew up in India. I studied music, did examinations and everything through Trinity College of Music London.

I studied classical music. Then later on, I decided to move out of all these places and stayed in Europe. Did you ever live in the UK? Oh yeah, I lived in Essex. My husband is Icelandic and he wanted to come [back to Iceland] for a while. I just hated the thought of going to Iceland or even staying there! How was Essex? It was nice. I did recordings and made many music videos. Most of my music videos have been done by British filmmakers, so I can choose who I work with.

God, the kind of rubbish they write on the internet and everything else. What do they say? They call me all kinds of ugly names.
