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

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

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.

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.
