The fans out in New Zealand are amazing. They're genuinely excited and appreciative that you're playing their country.

For me personally, Blink-182 has been a big influence. Just seeing them way back in the day play little shows and start from a garage band to where they are now, makes me believe anything is possible if you truly want it and commit your life to it.

The fact that our message and my lyrics can have a positive impact on someone's life is really astounding. It definitely makes me appreciate what I do even more because I'm not just doing it for self-gain, I'm doing it to help others.

I think that talent, good songwriting and passion, will always outlast hype.

Fans these days seem to almost expect a response from band-members any time they tweet or leave a comment etc.

The only person thats gonna hold you back is yourself

I think it's important to have a consistent communication with the fans but I don't think it should be expected.
