North West, the 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, has revealed she hopes to take on a surprisingly ordinary teenage job next year: working at Starbucks.
Despite having already released an EP, performed at major music festivals and owning a jacket once worn by Michael Jackson, North told Dazed that she still wants to work a regular job once she turns 14.
A 'regular job' ambition
'I still wanna work. I wanna work at, like, Starbucks next year,' she said. 'I think I can next year 'cause I'm gonna be 14, so… I think I can. I want to have a regular job, I guess.'
North initially ruled out her earlier ambition of becoming a basketball player before revealing her more attainable career plan.
Music career and ambitions
North released her six-track debut EP, N0rth4evr, in May, blending rage rap, emo, hyperpop, rock and metal, and has already begun performing the material live. She made a surprise appearance with rapper Molly Santana at Rolling Loud in Orlando before performing her first solo festival set at Summer Smash in June.
Asked about the worst advice she'd ever received, North replied: 'To start my career later. It's like, nah, this is my hobby, this is what I like to do, this is what I wanna do with my life.'
Personal style and family
North has developed a distinctive image independent from her famous parents, currently sporting blue hair inspired by virtual Japanese pop star Hatsune Miku alongside a collection of real and fake piercings. She revealed that she desperately wants her bridge pierced but isn't allowed, joking about her relatively tame rebellion: 'Everyone's in love with boys, vaping and doing all kinds of bad stuff. All I want is blue hair and piercings.'
North named her Rick Owens Geobaskets among her most treasured fashion possessions and revealed mum Kim previously gifted her a Michael Jackson jacket. When asked whose wardrobe she would most like to swap with, she simply replied: 'Honestly, I like my closet the best.'
North is the eldest of Kim and Kanye's four children, alongside Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, seven. The former couple married in 2014 before Kim filed for divorce in 2021, with their split finalised the following year.
