Normani Kordei wants to go solo one day.
The Fifth Harmony star would love to do her own thing at some point but insists there are no plans for the band to split and the group is her priority for now.
She told Bombshell magazine: "Before the girls and I were put together we all had the intentions of being solo artists. Our destiny had something different in mind for now at least.
"Going into this, I was fully committed to the girls and I still am. Someday we all aspire to venture out and grow individually with our artistry. It's impossible for five people to have the exact same ambitions all around. So to give you a more direct answer to your question and inquiring minds, the answer is, yes, one day [I'll go solo] but Fifth Harmony has tons of work to do until then."
Meanwhile, the group - which also includes Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, Camila Cabello and Lauren Jauregui - has been receiving advice from One Direction's Harry Styles.
Dinah said: "I remember we were in rehearsals and he came up to us and told us as a group, 'All five of you should be on the same page and the closest things to each other, because around all five of you, there are gonna be people that are gonna come and try to snatch you, people are gonna try to break you guys apart'. He said, 'So, as long as you five are your best friends, that's the most important thing.'"

Iggy Pop farts all the time on tour.
The 68-year-old rocker joked about his flatulence habit during a joint interview with his 'Post Pop Depression' collaborator Josh Homme and admitted to passing wind when they have been rehearsing for their live shows in support of the one-off record, which they made with Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders and Dean Fertita from the Dead Weather.
Of his smelly habit, Iggy told the Nerdist Podcast: "There's been a decline, I am 68 and things have gone down hill from when I was 21. I can qualify as an old fart. If I am at home I fart very rarely but, If I'm out on the road, I'm farting all the f***ing time. I'm farting all through rehearsal for the end of rehearsal you push a lot of air so I am pushing and farting."
But his musical partner Josh of Queens of The Stone Age thinks it shows his "unbridled energy".
He added: "I sense that cool unbridled energy leaping there is a certain wildness about you that is impossible to control and that's what is cool."
And the 'Lust For Life' hitmaker quipped: "I thought you were going to say that when I approached you that I farted."
Meanwhile, asked what his favourite work has been, he added: "Whatever we [Pop and Homme] did together."

He said: "I don't know, is that how it works out? It's March 25, it wasn't planned that way. It works that way. It just seems to coincide with the iTunes launch and everything. Maybe it's a sign."

All Saints have an unbreakable bond.
The reformed girl group - Shaznay Lewis, Melanie Blatt and sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton - were famous for their fights during their 90s heyday but they insists most of those bust-ups were caused by the fact they had to deal with the pressures of fame at a young age.
But no matter what has gone done between the four of them they have always resolved their issues and that's because they share a special friendship.
Songwriter Shaznay told GQ Style magazine: "There's no way anyone at that age can be expected to act the way we do now. It'd be great if you could, because you'd avoid certain things, but I think you're meant to make those mistakes. As you get older you realise that some people leave your life over time, but with these three, whatever's happened, we've always fixed it."
The 'Never Ever' hitmakers returned last month with new single 'One Strike' and their album 'Red Flag' comes out on April 8, and it is an LP they couldn't be more proud of.
Melanie previously said: "It's the album I've always wanted us to make. It's just nice to feel like that after years of being in the industry and not really loving it too much. This is just perfect.
"The fact that we made this album, that's it, that's the main thing. Who'd have thought after 20 years we'd make this album? From even where we were four years ago, it's incomprehensible."
The last time the 'Pure Shores' hitmakers got together was for their 2014 UK tour.
All Saints will head out on a 10-date tour of the UK in support of 'Red Flag' this October.

Ariana Grande has recorded a song with Macy Gray for her new LP 'Dangerous Woman'.
The 22-year-old pop beauty and the 'I Try' hitmaker teamed up to duet on 'Leave Me Lonely' and Ariana says it is a "special" track for her.
She said: "I have one song called 'Leave Me Lonely' which is really special my friend wrote it for me and my friend Tommy Brown produced it and it features Macy Gray. It's a really special one."
It is the second confirmed collaboration for the album following the reveal that rapper Lil Wayne appears on 'Let Me Love You'.
Macy's vocals on the track will be the first time fans will have heard her voice on a song since her last album, 2014's 'The Way'.
Ariana also teased she has two more collaborations she is yet to unveil.
She told New York radio station KTU 203.5 FM: "I haven't announced the rest. There are only four collaborations on the album."
Ariana previously vowed that her new material will be completely different from anything she's done before.
She said: "'Dangerous Woman' sits in its own world. It doesn't sound like anything that I've put out before."
Ariana's third studio LP, the follow-up to 2014's 'My Everything', will drop on May 20.

Nicki Minaj's next album will be full of happy songs.
The 'Anaconda' hitmaker admits her last LP - 2014's 'The Pinkprint' - was written at a time when she felt "emotionally unstable" as her 11-year relationship with Safaree Samuels came to an end, but her fourth album will reflect the "happiness" she's found in her relationship with her rapper boyfriend Meek Mill.
She explained: "I needed time to hear myself think again because where I left off with 'The Pinkprint' was a little bit emotionally unstable.
"I wanted to take a moment to just live my life, enjoy my life, have fun, go out. I think that's very important before you start writing again. Now, I want my happiness to be reflected in the new stuff."
The 33-year-old star - who is keen to have children with Meek - is currently laying down lyrics for her next record and has teased that her fans will have a "spiritual experience" when they hear the new material.
She told the new issue of Nylon magazine: "It's a spiritual experience for the people who are hearing the music, so I'm trying to be very careful of what mental space I'm in while I'm creating it."
As for when fans can expect the record it could be a little while yet as she's focusing on her acting career and will be busy promoting her forthcoming film 'Barbershop: The Next Cut', which is released on April 19.
She said: "Musically, I feel very fulfilled, and now I can start tapping into my acting world, where it's about passion and not about the money. It's wanting to be what I set out to be when I was in high school: an actress."

The Who have been announced to headline the Isle of Wight Festival.
The legendary rock group will return to the music extravaganza for a fourth time when they take to the main stage on Saturday 11 June for what will be their only UK festival date of 2016.
Festival boss John Giddings announced: "The Who are part of the fabric of The Isle of Wight Festival, and it's great to welcome them back to the island as part of their ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations. We're proud to have a lineup of homegrown headliners to help celebrate our own 15th anniversary and ensure that this year delivers yet another unforgettable weekend of music."
Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and their live band - which includes Zak Starkey, Pino Palladino and Pete's brother Simon Townshend - will be bringing their 'Hits 50!' show to Seaclose Park, where they'll play all of their greatest hits including 'Won't Get Fooled Again', 'Baba O'Reilly', 'The Seeker', 'Pinball Wizard', 'Who Are You' and 'My Generation'.
Meanwhile, Richard Ashcroft - who is releasing 'These People', his first solo album since 2006 on May 20 - has also been confirmed as the iconic band's special support act.
The Who first played the festival in 1969 and returned a year later.
And most memorably they played when the late David Bowie headlined in 2004, in what would be the 'Starman' hitmaker's last ever festival show in the UK.
The Who join previously announced headliners Queen and Adam Lambert, Stereophonics and Faithless.
Organiser Giddings previously admitted he deliberated for a long time over booking Queen as he wasn't sure they would work as a headline act without their late frontman Freddie Mercury.
Giddings told BANG Showbiz: "The thing about Adam is I was really unsure about booking them. It took them two years to persuade me. But Adam's great isn't he? All the girls love Adam. I kept getting all of these tweets and Facebook messages saying how much they love him. It's incredible. As for Brian May and Rodger Taylor, they are the biggest rock gods you could ever meet in your life. They are like Genesis; they are like Pink Floyd. They know the story, they've been through it."
The Isle of Wight Festival takes place June 9 to June 12 at Seaclose Park, Newport.

Kanye West has changed three songs on his album Tidal.
The 38-year-old rapper released his album exclusively via the music streaming service - launched by his friend Jay Z - in February but now he has re-worked some of the songs saying his music is "living breathing" art.
He wrote on Twitter "Fixing Wolves 2day ... Worked on it for 3 weeks. Life Of Pablo is a living breathing changing creative expression. #contemporaryart (sic)"
Track 'Famous' now contains additional vocal layering for Rhianna's hook , 'Wolves', now has more prominent contributions from Vic Mensa and Sia, and Frank Ocean debuts on brand new song 'Frank's Track', a 38-second extension of 'Wolves' that contains his part from the original track.
Kanye is remaining in the studio and has already teased his next album will be called 'Turbo Grafx 16'.
He took to Twitter and joked his next musical offering will be named after a computer games console from the 1980s that he loved as a child.
He previously tweeted: "My next album is titled "Turbo Grafx 16" as of now... (sic)"
However, he seemed to back track, swiftly adding: "Just on some super nerd vibes ... one of my favourite gaming systems when I was a kid... (sic)"
Kanye - who is married to Kim Kardashian West - added: "Excited to see my family and finish the final mixes of the Life of Pablo and keep working on Turbo Grafx 16 and Season 4... sic)"

Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie believes streaming services have "destroyed" the music industry.
The 53-year-old musician thinks apps like Spotify has stopped fans from wanting to purchase records.
He said: "A guy here at the record company got me a Spotify account for free because I did a playlist for them.
"When the Savages album came out and I didn't have a chance to get to the record store, I listened to the first half on there and then a couple of weeks later, I went and bought the album. But the digital thing has destroyed music."
The 'Where The Light Gets In' hitmaker's teenage son streams music too but Bobby doesn't blame him as it's "just the culture they were born into".
He added: "He streams [music] but he also watches YouTube. He loves music but he wouldn't buy it. It's just the culture they were born into.
"You can't turn it back but as an artist, I have to try and express myself and the best way to do that is to make albums."
And Bobby claims he isn't able to earn much money "from my hard work and my art anymore".
He told BBC News: "It's impossible to earn a living from making records unless you're Adele.
"At the level we're at and a lot of other people are at, you've just got to get out and play lots of gigs, but it means the gig circuit is choc-a-block."
