I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.

Don't sing a song you can't carry off, like some 16-year-old kid singing 'My Way'. That song's not for you. You haven't lived that.

I mean whatever I do it's important that I put my stamp on it and keep it in my world, whether I'm doing a dance track or something like the Russian album for example.

These days i tend to use one project I do as a kind of offshoot to the next.

For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar.

Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
