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'm now much more aware of my mental state. I have a lot more control over it and can choose how I feel.

It's more my own thing if I do instrumentals, but I also do really love collaborating with vocalists, so it's a good balance.

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

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.

Meditation is a really powerful tool I have for life now. The only reason I know about it is because I was stressing about writing and a friend taught me it. It's been useful. Now I use it for a bunch of different situations, whether I'm stressing before a show or something in the day really pisses me off.

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.
