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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
