I probably listen to more instrumental music than music with lyrics, but at the same time I do love both.

Sometimes you can just tell there's something unique about it, but you can never really truly tell until you show it to a third party - you show it to you friends, or you show it to people you know that know about music like my label or those kinda people.

Music really does just boil down to basically, essentially songwriting chords and melodies.

I like your own shows because you can have a bit more fun and extend your set, you can go a bit over if you want because it's your show. Whereas at festivals it's very strict, like if you go like two minutes over they get ready to pull the plug kind-of-thing. They're both good and bad.

What's funny for me is that I made a lot of the music I make with intentions of it being a song you listen to, to chill out.

I feel like I've gotten to a point where I don't know if it can get much bigger. I've been climbing and I feel very happy.

I feel like New Zealand's a bit of an unchartered territory for me in a way.
