When I fifteen or sixteen and was in London, moving from a small town and now going to a big city, I discovered so much new music. Finding all of that music and being inspired that much all at once, that was the benefit of being from a small place.
I wear my musical heart on my sleeve and show all my influences off. I'm happy for someone to point out that my song sounds like someone else's.
I won't be the kind of artist speaking in riddles all the time - it will be lyrics that make sense the moment I say them.
I realized that you can achieve so much at the front of a stage, releasing the music yourself and being something more selfish than just the drummer.
I'm sure there's some awful video of me singing when I was, like, 13 or 15 at my old school that my dad didn't take down off YouTube.
I think there's no limit to ambition, and if you want something, you can make anything happen, so go for it.
