North West continues to make headlines as one of the most visible teenagers in pop culture. In a recent interview for Dazed magazine’s autumn 2026 cover story, the 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West opened up about her future ambitions. While she firmly declared that music is her passion, she also revealed a surprisingly grounded goal for her upcoming teenage years.
The North West Dazed magazine interview Starbucks barista music career story went viral after North expressed a desire to experience life as a regular teenager. Despite having already released her debut EP N0rth4evr, the young artist admitted she wants to try her hand at a standard retail job.
“I still wanna work. I wanna work at, like, Starbucks next year. I think I can next year ’cause I’m gonna be 14, so… I want to have a regular job, I guess.” North West via Dazed
Even with coffee shop dreams on her mind, North made it clear that music remains her primary creative focus. Calling music her main hobby and life’s ambition, she rejected advice to delay her music career. Proud mom Kim Kardashian shared the Dazed photoshoot on social media to hype her daughter’s latest milestone.
