I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.

During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.

I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.

I got stood up by the letter Y, he was hanging around with his X.

I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.

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 actually write more on guitar than I do on piano.
