bought fortunate love player stare
I still love records, and I've been fortunate that my parents bought me a record player so I didn't just have my vinyls to stare at!
I met Jared Leto at Soho House in Berlin.
love
I love the folk-rock of the Seventies and the pop of the Eighties.
chilled crowds festivals love
I love the crowds at festivals because they're so chilled out.
drum electronic love music organic pop
I love pop music. I love drum and bass, Calvin Harris, all these electronic things, but it's nice to have something organic as well.
hope songs
I just write songs and hope that they do well. I'm sure there is some pressure from someone at the label, but I'd rather keep away from it.
columbia music people telling
I have hundreds and hundreds of people from Brazil, Chile, Columbia and Argentina, every day, buying my music and telling me about it online.
favourite grew music nick
I grew up listening to Nick Drake. Without him, I would not write music - and 'Pink Moon' is my favourite LP.
life pop
I don't feel like a pop star. I like being able to live my life the same as my mates. I don't get recognised much.
pop
For a lot of pop performers, fame and celebrity is part of the job. But for singer-songwriters, no one really cares.
business industry interested jobs knew label music playing production session stuff within
Before I'd even started doing music or having opportunities with my own music, I was studying production and business and stuff anyway. I knew there were so many jobs within the music industry - songwriting or session playing or working at a label - and I was really interested in how it all works.
inspirational lyric
I am never without my lyric book. If anything inspirational happens, I have it there so nothing's forgotten.
fund labels sign
Labels fund things and have resources for you to use. But just because you sign doesn't mean you sign yourself away so they can then tell you what to do. You need to have a plan yourself before they do.
bring love poetry wrote
I wrote poetry before I wrote songs, and T.S. Eliot was my inspiration. I love his honesty and try to bring that to my own songwriting.
