“Labels fund things and have resources for you to use. But just because you sign doesn't mean you sign yourself away so they can then tell you what to do. You need to have a plan yourself before they do.”
“When I first got signed, I bought a vintage guitar from the 1930s for £1000. I've bought a £400 SLR camera, too, which was quite extravagant.”
“I'm really into fashion, but I don't really spend that much on clothes. I manage to find everything I want at a good price.”
“I wouldn't just lay my voice on anything. But I'd love to do a collaboration, like a Calvin Harris track, for example.”
“I write songs, and I sing them. I never formulated a plan; I can't tell anyone else how to do this. But it feels right, so I just kind of enjoy it and get on with it.”
“When I went to City of Bath College, I studied the music business.”
“Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone, it's where you go when're you're alone, its were you go to rest your bones. It's not just where you lay your head, it's not just where you make your bead. As long as we're together does it matter where we go?”
“For a lot of pop performers, fame and celebrity is part of the job. But for singer-songwriters, no one really cares.”
“I love the folk-rock of the Seventies and the pop of the Eighties.”
“I grew up listening to Nick Drake. Without him, I would not write music - and 'Pink Moon' is my favourite LP.”
“I love pop music. I love drum and bass, Calvin Harris, all these electronic things, but it's nice to have something organic as well.”
“My parents are music fans, even though neither of them play an instrument. I was exposed to their record collection, so I love everything from Joni Mitchell to Bruce Springsteen.”
“I'm quite annoying and can't imagine what it would be like living with me 24/7.”
“It's important to have good tunes, but words are the thing for me.”
