It's like my parents' musical tastes are the mother and father of my music. It's their fault for making me so emotional and in tune with my emotions!
From Chet Faker
When I was 21 or 22, I realized I was never going to be something else - I had to be a musician. I can't commit to anything unless I love it.
I just love a slow groove. I feel so comfortable in it. But I listen to a lot of fast music, a lot of techno and house.
An album is like a book or a diary or a snapshot... It just feels so like the end of a chapter when you finish one.
I always try to work hard and get things done as soon as possible, but never at the loss of quality of the product.
I think you can move to everything, but with some music, you just want to sit still. That's me, anyway.
On my Instagram, lots of people tag me in photos of just dudes with beards, and they're like, 'Oh my God, I met Chet Faker' and I'm like, 'That doesn't even look like me.'
My high school career counsellor said I shouldn't pursue music as a career.
I second guess everything I do musically, and I often could spend hours on, say, one snare sound.
I remember a concert for a visiting girls school, and that was the first time I ever sang - it was always about girls - that was the main thing. But somewhere along the line, it became a cathartic thing.
