Someone asked me the other day what my favourite record shop was, and I said YouTube.

I've always known my own mind, and I'm not shy about speaking it.

I had wanted to be a dancer when I was younger. But at some point I figured out I was a better singer.

I guess I've been making records since I was 16, and even when 50 people bought them, I thought that was amazing.

My dad was a soul fan and a singer himself, and he loved vocal harmony, stuff like the Beach Boys and Motown like the Four Tops, which was a big influence on me.

I've never really compared myself to anyone who's a big star - I'm not trying to be a fashion icon or get famous.
