Be yourself. Embrace your quirks.

I don't think that there's much that sets me apart from other musicians, but I think there are definitely things that set me apart from other kinds of artists.

Everyone knows almost everything about me. I make it very clear that I'm cool with people knowing all my personal life through my songs.

I don't kind of want to be known as a one-trick pony who just does the adult-alternative song once a year that makes it onto the radio and people sort of think it's nice.

I've fallen for your eyes, but they don't know me yet

I do like my hair. It took a while to come around to the fact that it was quite a unique value point.

I saw Damien Rice in Dublin when I was 13, and that inspired me to want to pursue being a songwriter... I practised relentlessly and started recording my own EPs. At 16 I moved to London and played any gigs I could, selling CDs from my rucksack to fund recording the next, and it snowballed from there.
