Cara Delevingne has enlisted the help of Nile Rodgers to get her music career off the ground.

The 22-year-old beauty, who's best known for her catwalk modelling, has turned her attention to acting and singing in more recent times, and has called on the legendary producer - who's worked with the likes of David Bowie and Madonna - to propel her music career.

Nile told The Sun newspaper: ''I love her, she's awesome. I would say she's a rock chick and a really cool one too.

''It's not helping, it's collaborating. When she played me her tracks I was shocked, it's cool.

''That's the cool thing about music, you get to be shocked.

''You never know how a person is going to touch someone else's soul. They come with music that is going to blow people away and you never expect it.

''She's gorgeous, I couldn't help but notice stuff like that too.''

Earlier this month, Cara - who stars in the teen comedy movie 'Paper Towns' - confessed she was ''terrified'' to leave modelling.

Cara explained she felt like she was being ''fake'' in front of the camera on photo shoots.

She said: ''The thrill of acting is making a character real. Modelling is the opposite of real. It's being fake in front of the camera.

''I'm not sure I understand what fashion is anymore. I admit I was terrified to leave. I mean, the bubble gives you a kind of dysfunctional family. When you're in it, you get it. And the second you're out of it, you're like, 'What the hell just happened?'''
