I do like writing songs in a band. When it's rock, it's such a different kind of dynamic, obviously.

I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.

I tried talking to Jesus, but he just put me on hold.

I was brought up west southwest coast of Scotland and my mother and father had a music shop, and so I was surrounded by pianos and drums and guitars, and music, of course.

I just want to be a better guitar player, really.

I like the process of writing songs. It makes me feel good.

In certain ways I still feel like I'm finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well.
