People used to say poems were different to songs but I don't think they are.

I watched my parents go from having very basic jobs to educating themselves, to buying a house. They set a really good bar for what they wanted their kids to achieve.

I'm just a young person trying to fulfil his potential and be the best he can be at what he wants to do... I guess that's why people connect with the music.

Hopefully, young people will see that you can be young and make the sacrifices to follow your dreams.

My glasses are from Cutler & Gross. They're not prescription: I just love wearing them. I used to wear Ray-Ban a lot and then I realised that a lot of the things I've started going for are a little bit more refined. I liked the fact that I was supporting a British brand, somebody I could have a relationship with and people that I could talk to.

Music has no race. It appeals to everybody.

I can wear a suit, sweatpants, a long tee shirt, and a denim jacket all at the same time.
