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

As long as I can sustain myself and as long as people like what I am doing and are happy to support me to continue, that is success in my eyes.

Something like film, I guess there are so many elements to it, like the dialogue and what makes sense culturally.

I feel like if you compare yourself to other successful musicians you will never be successful, because there will always be someone above you who has done something more or done something first or done something better.

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.

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