I love grooves and dance music, but I like the feeling behind songs too.
I had a lovely time growing up.
It's quite hard not to cringe at your own music; you're always a bit annoyed at some parts of it.
I like a lot of soul, but I also put a lot of folk into what I do.
Bill Withers, Van Morrison and Marvin Gaye are pioneers in popular music for the last century, and these are people who have influenced me as well, so it's pretty flattering. I've got a long way to go to reach anywhere near what those guys have done. But it's a good encouragement.
The worst thing for a singer/songwriter is to run out of songs.
