I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.

Hip-hop has been the guiding light of my life as a musician and a music fan. It's the one common thread through all of it from the time I bought my first record probably. It's always been there.

I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.

I feel the reasons my songs might seem dark is because of how I viewed the situations I was in and it was just something I always felt like documenting.

I've traveled quite a lot and become a coffee nut.

Food in Dublin has gotten immeasurably better than it was. When I was a kid, there weren't a lot of options. Now you're overwhelmed with options.

I didn't really learn how to play guitar until I was in college.
