JAKARTA - British singer and songwriter Charlotte Emma Aitchison alias Charli XCX admits that it is difficult to accept in her own country's music industry.

Charli revealed that she had never felt welcome to the British music scene during the early years of her career.

One unpleasant incident occurred while preparing for the release of his sixth studio album, 'Brat', recently. The 31-year-old singer said she was treated like an 'outer person' and her ideas were consideredulant.

"The industry has changed a lot. I've been told for a long time that I'm an outside person and I've never really felt accepted in the British music scene," Charli XCX told The Observer.

'Pers has captured my narrative. I'm a girl who navigates underground and pop music, and for some reason, it's very difficult for some people to understand.'

However, Charli felt comfortable working with PC Music, a record label founded by AG Cook and based in London.

"Every collaborator I've worked with once thought my ideas were ridiculous or captivating, or not fluent. It takes some people who want to think drastically to realize these ideas, and that's what I found on PC Music," he said.

Charli feels that acceptance of herself is now better. He believes that times have changed, with his idea to be more accepted.

"Currently, more than ever, people are giving awards to the niche," Charli said.

"Finally, it seems fine if I become myself, and suddenly people like him. It feels good to finally be accepted. I'm happy with the winding path I've taken."
