I think people don't realize how many hours of practice goes into becoming a musician and getting better.

I always wanted to be a musician from when I was kid. It was always a massive dream of mine. School was also really really important to me and having an education was top of my priority. So I really wanted to have a degree before I tried anything in the music industry.

Anytime I write something that's trying to be too smart, it doesn't work.

I don't know if I was as ambitious as to change the world, but I do feel like - the reason why I called the album "Our Version of Events" was that I feel a lot of people are not represented in pop music and popular culture.

I wanted to find a way to speak for people. It was important for me, because so many people spoke for me when I was a kid and made me feel less invisible, and I wanted kids or whoever is listening to my music not to feel so voiceless.

Any song I have to work on longer than a day, I just leave it. It's not gonna work. Everything that's good is really instant.

I'm not too bothered about what category my music goes in and there's no point in limiting in who you can reach, but I want it to be respected.
