I was in a church choir early on and that really helped me musically in terms of chops, learning how to sing harmonies.

I've taken singing lessons since I was young, just to work on technique.

I learned so much about recording and about singing on records from Ken Nelson.

A lot of what I have always done is do other singers.

I'm very conscious of developing my singing, technically and stylistically. I want it to become more individual, express more of me. That's my goal. These songs are steps along that way.

I didn't have bands that I was playing with growing up, so I learned to try to adapt and play these songs that were guitar songs on the piano, and sing them.

I kinda learned to sing singing to Echo and the Bunnymen songs and Smiths songs: Morrissey would be a big favorite.

I have always been intrigued with singing and I actually started my career in musical comedies.

I basically taught myself how to sing and play by copying records, and that's just how it was for me. I know that's true for a lot of budding musicians out there - that's the thing that gets them inspired, is trying to learn their favorite songs. I think it's a great way to teach yourself.
