Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.
I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.
There are absolutely no problems between me, my dad and my sister. Obviously I grew up with just my mum, but my relationship with my dad is just fine.
I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
I don’t actually have a lot of discipline. I’ve worked hard at music. But I feel like you know, I felt like kind of natural at it. I always had a knack for it.
I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it that’s all that matters.
My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn’t because I wanted to make simple music. It’s because I don’t really have the chops.
It’s true, there’s a lot of melancholy in my music. I don’t know why, I’m not a melancholy person. I’ve always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.
For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
I’ve been told the weirdest things: ‘Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!’ or ‘I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.’
