I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.

My favorite records are not easy - they're not records that reveal everything to you the first time out.

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.

It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.

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

I don't know if I'm attention deficit, but I certainly am easily distracted by other things.
