The ideal label for me would be this passive being with lots of money, but unfortunately it doesn't really work like that.

I was born in London. I moved to New Zealand when I was really young; I can't remember London. My parents went and did what was supposed to be a one-year O.E. (overseas experience) that turned into a 9 year O.E. and they had two kids.

I love making music. I feel like people often get into that 'you should only make music for yourself' kind of place, where they say things like, "I don't write for other people, I write for myself," and I feel like that misses the mark so much because music, especially pop music, is so much more than yourself.

The ideal label for me would be this passive being with lots of money, but unfortunately it doesn't really work like that.

If we all knew how to make that jump from good to great then I think every song would be great.

There is a balance in between where you can still make art, but it does not have to be insular.

I feel like writing music is a great chance to create something that extends beyond yourself.
