Now I think that going to the gym is the best drug. I go four times a week and it gives me the buzz I need.

Basically, I live to do gigs.

Some men do think I'm a psycho bunny-boiler.

My dad always had music playing around us and he was always a happy chirpy man with a beautiful voice. I was always singing around the house and I assumed that's what all families did. It wasn't until I went through that nasty teenage stage that I started to realise that wasn't the case.

I never went round to loads of managers saying 'this is what I have, this is my product and I'm going to be famous so you'd better sign me up.' They came to me.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

It's important for me to be with a musician or someone who has a creative mind.
