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.

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.
generating releasing royalties
When I was releasing EPs by myself, I was generating royalties. And when I signed, I thought I'd put those royalties into other artists. And interestingly, streaming is most of the income for those artists.

I still listen to a lot of the classics from Bob Dylan and John Martin, but I love electronic music as well. I'm a big fan of an Australian DJ and producer called Flume, who I think is incredible. He should be more successful in the U.K.!
annoyed cheap given plug wanting
I got my first guitar when I was 11. It was an electric, and I can remember just wanting to be Avril Lavigne! But I got annoyed with having to plug it in and play with amps and pedals and stuff. Then I got given a cheap acoustic, a Tanglewood, and I thought it was awesome because I could play it anywhere!

I feel more comfortable in a place like Brighton - a town, with one centre, one bus station, one train station. And there are so many arty, creative people, and things are less rushed, less stressed.

It's important to have good tunes, but words are the thing for me.

I'm really into fashion, but I don't really spend that much on clothes. I manage to find everything I want at a good price.
I'm really busy, but I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

I'd love to write for One Direction. I think they've done incredibly well.

I wouldn't just lay my voice on anything. But I'd love to do a collaboration, like a Calvin Harris track, for example.
