I like the contrast in making something that sounds sunny but also has an element of melancholy to it.

It's not like I force myself to think of sad things, but... it's more that I make music because it makes me happy.

In the course of my life, I've made some happy songs but it's the more sort of like pathos-laden, emotional, melancholic music that either I make or that other people make that really resonates with me.

I think a lot of songwriters would agree that it's often easier to find inspiration in misery.

I see my music as Emotional Therapeutic Pop music that bleeds into loads of different genres.

I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world.

I don't like when a song goes from one mood to another unless it's going to be out of sight.

There's a lot of melancholy in my tracks.

Sad music, I always thought, is more beautiful than other music. But at the same time, I am in my personal life a very happy guy. I have a sense of humor. I am not the kind of depressed guy all the time brooding. No. I am very enthusiastic about things.
