Songwriting is my main thing. I know that I'll do that for the rest of my life.

Sometimes you feel like a very small drop in this huge ocean.

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

I tried to bang down a lot of doors but Virgin were the only label who believed in what I was doing. I ended up with the label that understood what I was trying to do.

I was very quiet until I got at the piano, and weekends, lunch breaks, after school, before school, I was just making music.

I was finding it very difficult to find a label that understood what I wanted to do and really believed that people wanted to hear something honest and a little bit different. So, I did feel a bit like a clown. You're knocking on everyone's door trying to get them to believe what you're doing.
