I think people want to put you in a box and close it away so that it makes them feel better. A lot of musicians get that.

I was so dyslexic as a kid, and still am, and music was such a great form of escape to me. At school I'd keep my head down and try not to get beat up, and then I'd get home and music would be like a drug to me.

Well, I'm very dyslexic, so I can't read music. It means I never know where I'm at so it's different every single time. I know when it works though. I might end up doing a bosa nova version of Bad Day when I get to Australia!

For me there is a reluctance to be in front of cameras. I love making music but with that comes a lot of responsibility and you have to put yourself out there more.

I just did whatever it took to keep making music - I slept on couches. You would be amazed at how far $20 can go if you stretch it out.

I gave up that idea of trying to make music that I thought other people would want. I just made music for myself and music for people that I knew.
