“IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING
ENOUGH YOU WILL HAVE
IT…”
1. What initially inspired
.you to follow a music
career?
I always loved music and
thought writing a song for a
girl would make her like me
more (it didn't) and then I
realised I loved music more.
It's kinda my girlfriend to
me, ha, when you realise
that the thing you love can
also be your job you'd be a
fool not to chase it.
“I always try have a
laugh before I go on
stage, the better the
mood I’m in, the better
the show normally for
me.!”
2. What was it like to
create your own EP?
Could you tell us a little bit
about it?!
Creating my first EP was
cool. I did the whole thing
in 3 days. It killed me, I got
tambourine elbow. It was
the hottest three days of the
year and the producer Ash
and I stayed in a basement,
like gremlins making music.
!
3. How did you feel when
the EP was finished?
When the EP was finished
and mixed and mastered I
just wanted to put it out
there. It was a collection of
songs that I wrote about one
relationship ending and
diving straight into another
so I didn't want it to sound
specific to one person.
That's why I hope it relates
to a lot of young and dumb
relationships.
4. What were your
thoughts behind your song
‘Aeroplanes’?
"Aeroplanes was pretty much
a text I wanted to send to my
current girlfriend. I wrote
this giant message telling
her how I wanna be with her
and how she should come
stay over… I was so scared
of being cringe. I wrote a
song saying it instead.
Which is kinda cringe haha."
“I remember the first
time I heard one of my
songs being sung back
at me, it was an
emotional moment.!”
5. Do you have any prestage rituals you do before
performing?!
I’ve started becoming that
green tea lad, doing the
vocal warm ups to myself in
a corner. I used to sit by the
bar pretending not to be
nervous. I always try have a
laugh before I go on stage,
the better the mood I’m in,
the better the show normally
for me."
6. How do you feel when
you are performing one of
your songs on stage?
"In my sets there is a lot of
crowd interaction, I
remember the first time I
heard one of my songs being
sung back at me, it was an
emotional moment."
“I'm influenced a lot by
80’s music…I love the
festival feel of songs…’
7. What was your
favourite performing
experience, and where
was it?!
The Troubadour in London
has always been one of my
19
