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've done quite a few records now, and I look back and think of them as documents of my musical journey.

Make a record in your bedroom on a cheap computer, play it on pirate radio, and that's what's it's all about. You can do something really exciting and you don't need any record companies. The way I do everything comes from that, the impact of those two things.

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.

People read into the music. I have a feeling that they can believe that I'm trying to put some emotion forward. It's not just some technical exercise.
