I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.

I play music the way it was played in yesteryear.

I was in a lot of school plays, and it became the thing I did.

I've done a lot of growing up since the age of 16 and I really wanted that to be reflected in my music.

The whole process of this record was an education for me as a musician.

I started playing music when I was really young.

When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.

I was in a band at school, and almost from the day we started, I started writing songs, just because that seemed what you did.

I literally left school and went straight into music via art college for a year, and I've been so involved in my job of writing songs that the more actively involved part became channeled into standing on the stage and saying things that way.
