Life is short. I'm here to make music, I'm not here to sit on a beach. That sounds really boring to me.

I grew up in a place called Malahide, which is by the water and is beautifully quiet, leafy, and part serene.

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'm an introspective human being and someone who likes to be alone in a room. The idea of going out and talking to people...there's something appealing about it, but also there's something that feels alien to me, as a cynical Irish man.

I have a vision for everything that I make, but... I'm not that considerate about what I do. I do whatever is in my head and how it ends up tends to be the thing that it's supposed to be. It was never a premeditated decision.

I think sitting in the car with your parents and listening to music is an essential to growing up.

I was never a 'sit down with a notepad and write lyrics' kind of person.
