People that come to my shows are definitely people that feel outsiders. They feel like I don't feel sexy, I don't feel like - I can't go out every night on Friday and I can't connect to that, and I feel so much pressure to do that.

From when I was a kid I wanted to write. It was so important to me that I was writing my own material.

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 mean, there'll always be room for big productions and everything but it's good to see the other side.

I want to speak for people that may not feel like they're being spoken for at the moment. And I want to make a connection between the world around us and the charts.

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

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