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 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.

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

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

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

I always knew I wanted to be a musician, and I always knew I wanted to write, 'cause the people I was listening to all wrote. I never thought it was an option to sing anyone else's songs.

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