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

When it's your own thing there's a lot more pressure to make it awesome, since these people bought tickets specifically for you. Whereas at the festivals, you're one of many acts on a bill so I find it's less pressure.

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.

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.

Most of the music I've listened to or grew up listening to - a lot of it at least - is instrumental stuff.

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