For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days.

There are absolutely no problems between me, my dad and my sister. Obviously I grew up with just my mum, but my relationship with my dad is just fine.

I had success early on where I'm able to try to keep it fun, and I don't have to do things just for the sake of making a living, which a lot of my musician friends don't have that luxury of course.

It's important to keep indie record stores alive because their unique environments introduce music lovers to things in a very personal way.

I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it that's all that matters.

I think playing music is one of my great joys in life.

A lot of pop people out there are cool, but they overdo it.
