bit british fact liked love people realised relationship somebody supporting wearing
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.
people festivals wander
People discover you at festivals. They come to see Coldplay or whoever, and then wander over and catch your act. Festivals make a lot of sense to me.
people listening together
If people are not listening to you as individuals, it's always good to get together and make a stand for something.
thinking knowing people
I grew up in an eclectic house where people were listening to all types of different music. I also think being educated, eloquent and knowing how to talk for yourself in the industry makes you go a long way.
glasses people rays
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.
growing-up real people
The way everyone in London is right up against each other makes it very real to you growing up, the fact that people have different lives to you. And that causes problems; of course it does.
people black albums
When you look at the Lady Gagas of the world, or the Jay-Zs, or the Black Eyed Peas, these are people who have one album release and it's a worldwide one.
couple people style
I first became interested in style when I was 16 and I had my first couple of gigs. I realised I couldn't look like the people I was performing to. Not in a condescending way, but just that it would be weird if I was wearing exactly what someone in the crowd was wearing.
believe people young
A lot of young people have all these aspirations but many of them don't believe they're possible.
dream giving people
I feel like I'm indirectly showing people, not that there's another way, but just that if you really have a dream, you should try and give it a go.
thinking people ignorant
I like to think I don't make music for ignorant people.
song thinking people
People used to say poems were different to songs but I don't think they are.
people trying want
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.
dream sacrifice people
Hopefully, young people will see that you can be young and make the sacrifices to follow your dreams.
