A few years ago I had a weird relationship with performing live. I didn't enjoy it as much because the nerves took over. My first ever gig was with Disclosure at Bestival. There were so many people, thousands and thousands of people. It's been an amazing start to my live shows, to experience that type. My only aim when I perform with those guys is to make sure the crowd has the best time. You hype them up. The energy is crazy. It's completely different, but I need both of them because I love dance music, but I also love soul music and slower, acoustic stuff.
Sam SmithIt was only until I started to be myself that the music started to flow and people started to listen. So, thank you guys...
Sam SmithI want to be rich in all the foods I’ve tasted and all the places I’ve been and all the people I’ve kissed.
Sam SmithMy mum and dad used to make me stand up at dinner parties and sing to their friends. I had this conservatory in my house - three steps went to up to kind of a raised part of our kitchen. I used it as the stage. Every night after school I used to download backing tracks of songs I loved and perform to myself. My mum was trying to cook and I was pretending I was at the O2 arena.
Sam SmithGuess it's true I'm not good at a one night stand , but I still need love cause I'm just a man
