Now only 20 years old, Ms Scandalous has found lyrical inspiration easy to come by in putting down verses for the album, starting with the area she grew up in Southall, West London. "They don't call Southall 'Little India' for nothing. On a Saturday afternoon on Southall Broadway you feel, with all the bazaars, street-traders, mango sellers and sari shops that you're in the middle of India…But then you might hear some Hip-Hop out of someone's ride and you realise this is West London, this isn't a Bollywood film, this is real. This place where I grew up has made me who I am and gives me a lot of inspiration for my lyrics. I wouldn't have wanted to grow up anywhere else, this is me. I'm proud of my roots".

Signed to Panjabi Hit Squad's (BBC 1xtra/Def Jam) own label, Ms Scandalous is keen to join the small clique of artists in this niche scene able to take their music to the world. With the determination that Ms Scandalous holds, coupled with the catchy promo track ‘Aaja Soniya’ which is already been playlisted by BBC 1xtra & MTV Base, ‘Ladies First’ is a sure fire hit for this ladies debut, it has all the ingredients for a hit - sexiness, sassiness and scandal.
