The 'Under The Sheets' singer, who topped the BBC Sound of 2010 poll, claimed that a meeting with the electropop star encouraged her to move beyond just playing guitar.
"I was just doing an essay or something and I heard this music playing in my friend's room, and it was Frankmusik. I was like, 'This sounds so different'," she told NME.
"We ended up doing a couple of songs, and I just thought, 'Oh my God, this is what I wanna do'. As soon as I heard [Frankmusik collaboration] 'Wish I Stayed', I was like, 'That's it'. He made me realise just because I play guitar I didn't have to be a folk singer."
