I think my first song ever was when my cat died. It was this awful, dreadful black cat who was angry and hated everything. Yet I was so upset when it died.

I am a big nut for kind of weird musicality things. I love key-changes and random tempo things and polyrhythms - music geek.

I have three brothers. Poor Mum; four boys.

I'd gotten to a point where I would write a lyric and then delete it because I was worried about how it sounded. Pretty much, I was a dreadful person and It was just a way of dealing with feeling kind of guilty about that.

I sit at the piano for a couple of hours and tinker away until I get something. I am a nocturnal spirit, like an owl.

Sometimes I just get into the zone of the song, but in the outset I feel like I love to cater to people - but not necessarily at the expense of my artistry or anything like that.
