So many people I was at school with have all ended up being musicians and putting records out.

My father is a massive, massive music fan. I grew up listening to rock, soul and jazz.

I realized there were no words or anything in my music, nothing that people would have to draw them in a little bit more.

I worked on the tracks so they sounded as good as possible in there... I wanted to make something that was for the night.

It's such a normal thing for a dance producer to make music and try it out in the club, but that was relatively new to me. I wanted to make a good album that felt like it had a point.

I like putting a lot of personal touches in the music.

If I bare my soul in bits and make it personal, I think people can sense that when they hear it.
