My parents aren't artists or anything, but growing up in Wales, especially in a Welsh language school and community, they have this thing called the Eisteddfod where people compete in singing and acting and dancing and oratory all sorts of things. From a very young age, it's been a part of my upbringing.

I was a huge Radiohead fan growing up.

There was so much great music around in the 60s, stuff like The Small Faces, but I also love The Jam.

When you're doing the same scene over and over, all day long, you need to keep your levels up for your own performance and for the other actors.

I think drama school really teaches you how to annunciate; you're conscious that people might not understand you if you speak too fast and too Welsh.

But acting is my main profession so it's about finding the right balance. I don't know how, if I went any further with the music, I would manage to do both - I would have to take time off from acting because I couldn't do both at same time. I could do six months on and six months off perhaps. But I'm really proud of the record. I've worked on it for a while and I'm really glad to finally get the album out, having done three EPs prior to its release.

I just want my music to be put out there, not shoved in peoples faces. I want to keep it relaxed.
