I don't function well in certain aspects of society, and you can read into that what you will.

I write songs on a course of time that's comfortable for me. I would probably never write a song from start to finish in the course of a day, hell probably not even a week. My mind is always going to change and my emotional state will also change on a daily basis.

I'm learning on the guitar all the time.

The hip-hop aesthetic and the way it's produced always motivated me. Alongside that I was still wanting to make great traditional songs because I've never had any desire to rap. My love of hip-hop is driven by my love of rappers, but it was built out of my love of producers.

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

I'm very ambitious, musically - I want to create great things, not mediocre work.

I moved to London with this really warped sense of expectation.
