I love singing. It makes me feel good. It's like a release, especially when I'm singing soul music.
From Michael Kiwanuka
If you earned money listening to music, I'd be a millionaire.
You always have in the back of your mind that would be cool if you get recognized. But you can't concentrate on any of those things. You've got to just keep playing and doing your music and the rest is just a bonus.
I've been more single than not in my short life.
There's nothing more exciting to me than using real instruments in the studio.
I love writing songs and being a musician, but you can't really buy the feeling of connecting with people.
It's annoying when you've got a guitar and you're working on music and then you have to go and do the shopping or someone calls your mobile and you get distracted or you have to go out and do something.
It's quite hard not to cringe at your own music; you're always a bit annoyed at some parts of it.
The main thing in making your own music is that it's an expression of someone's personality and being. That's what people want to hear, and you can't really teach that - that's just something that comes out. Teaching just hones that.
I love making music so it's important for me to keep doing that even if the schedule is busy.
