All I do is hope that someone feels something from listening to my music.
As a kid, I could just pick up melody and harmony instinctively, and that's why I can play lots of instruments.
Ever since I was a little kid, my ears and my hands would talk to each other very well, so I could pick up instruments quite easily.
Every single pair of trousers I own has a plectrum in it.
Festivals are the best because you can't control anything, and for a control freak like me, that's a wonderful experience.
For me, creating music is just as relaxing as sitting down and doing nothing.
Genre hopping is something I intend to do, and I intend to do it forever and ever because I think genres are boring.
I am only interested in celebrating music.
I don't listen to much music on the go because I tend either to be writing my own music or wanting a break from the music around me.
I feel the best way to respect my audience is to not give them what they expect from me... 'Cause it's fun that way.
I find it really difficult to turn my head off. I find it difficult to zone out.
I found a way to connect with lots of instruments rather than just fixating on one of them. I just loved making noise on anything.
I get inspired by the sounds that evoke an emotion from me. That's what I am drawn to; that's what turns me on.
I grew up with parents who really encouraged me to listen to as much music as I could.
I just hope people enjoy 'Phase' as much as I've enjoyed making it. I hope it's a good reaction.
When I perform live, I'm doing a lot, but I kind of black out. I don't think about it too much.
I'm ultimately a perfectionist who doesn't believe in perfection.
I've always said that I would only ever release something that I would want to listen to as a fan.
Tech gives people more opportunities to be themselves in front of other people. Sometimes that's great; sometimes it's bad.
I like making sounds and putting it together, I'm not just a singer or a producer.
The music in my family has always been there; it's been quite an obvious trait that seems to have trickled down the bloodline.
My grandfather was a church organist and would sing in choirs and was a musical genius to a certain extent.
Who am I to sit here and say I'm going to change the face of music?
The thing that was most constant when I was growing up was just complete support and adoration from my parents.
Music has always been part of my family's life. My brother, sister, and I all have the same ability to pick up an instrument and play.
I spent 19, 20 years of my life being terrified about what I looked like. I was a ginger white kid.
My mission is to just keep creating music. If it helps people in some way, then I'm doing the right thing.
