Once I started to get older, my father would say, 'You look more like George Harrison than I do'

I only discovered electronic music as a teenager and I still love the Prodigy and Massive Attack.

I suddenly realized that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to become that which I hated - which is the head of a record company or a digital media conglomerate - and just do whatever you want.

Thenewno2 is sort of my little prototype band, really.

To come out in the music business, you only really get one shot. A lot of people get to play small gigs first, and build up that way, without anyone really seeing them.

Im still getting used to being called a composer. A poseur, maybe.

I did Albert Hall, I got to play the Hall of Fame with Prince. So I've done that kind of stuff for ages. It wasn't until after we finished working on Brainwash, my dad's album after he died, then it was like 'That phase is over in my life now, now we can get on with our music, with our band.'
