I have amazing collaborators as well, but I want to learn more and be a self-contained unit.

I once said to a boy, ‘You’re a really good kisser,’ and he said, ‘You’re only as good as the person you’re kissing.' I think it’s the same with the music. If someone [says], ‘Your music is really provocative,’ I’m only as provocative as the person that’s listening to it.

We live in a very strange world where everything is so accessible; if you like one song someone did, you can see what they ate for breakfast or what kind of sunglasses they wore.

If I want to dress myself a certain way, I don't want to have to rely on someone else to do it for me.

I hope to do a visual for every 
single thing, even if it’s as small as a gif or as big as a whole dance music film.

I've been inspired by people's work, but I never grew up with posters on my bedroom wall or obsessed with one person.

When I first put out music, people didn't know what I looked like. They called it a new type of something, they couldn't put a genre on it - it was where indie and urban kind of meet in the middle. I thought that was quite exciting.
