I feel like I've got an open mind as far as sounds, for me, as far as I'm concerned I just wanted to make music that had really good melodies.

It's a funny thing, if I could choose anything to do, it wouldn't be to be in front of a camera because I've spent so much of my time, so much of my life trying to get really good at writing songs and playing instruments.

I don't like being in big crowds, I don't like being in a room full of people. I get anxious and nervous, but I'm pretty confident about my music. It excites me because I get to sing to all those people.

When you're writing a song with someone, it's a very personal process. The music has to be an organic experience, it can't be contrived, sometimes it is and I think people pick up on that.

The most important thing is that you're comfortable with who you're working with as a person. Forget the music, if you can sit in a room with someone and you don't have awkwardness.

I've learnt so much from the people I've worked with, about how to listen to stuff as it's coming together and not force anything.

Whichever kind of music I was making it was all about the melody anyway. The kind of music I'm making now is the way it is because I'm being 100% honest with myself.
