You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.

Writing is something that I practice at every day to get better at.

I never feel that I have to adopt a character. It's more the way I choose to present the music and that's always based on what is right for the song.

Well, I'm quite a self-deprecating person.

I just started writing and writing for people. And then, like I guess after (a) year of getting some placements, I kinda got a shot to be an artist. Long story short I think, yeah.

Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.

My father is actually a quarry man - he deals in stone. He also at one point had a lot of sheep, he owned a sheep farm, but primarily the family business was in stone.
