life pop
I don't feel like a pop star. I like being able to live my life the same as my mates. I don't get recognised much.
favourite grew music nick
I grew up listening to Nick Drake. Without him, I would not write music - and 'Pink Moon' is my favourite LP.
columbia music people telling
I have hundreds and hundreds of people from Brazil, Chile, Columbia and Argentina, every day, buying my music and telling me about it online.
hope songs
I just write songs and hope that they do well. I'm sure there is some pressure from someone at the label, but I'd rather keep away from it.
drum electronic love music organic pop
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.
love
I love the folk-rock of the Seventies and the pop of the Eighties.

I still love records, and I've been fortunate that my parents bought me a record player so I didn't just have my vinyls to stare at!
success work
I think it's nice to work and then have success.
harris lay love
I wouldn't just lay my voice on anything. But I'd love to do a collaboration, like a Calvin Harris track, for example.
love
I'd love to write for One Direction. I think they've done incredibly well.

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.
good
It's important to have good tunes, but words are the thing for me.
certain creates string thread
I feel very English. I'm proud of it. I wanted there to be a thread connecting everything, the songs, clothes, artwork, even the string arrangements. It all creates a certain atmosphere.
annoyed cheap given plug wanting
I got my first guitar when I was 11. It was an electric, and I can remember just wanting to be Avril Lavigne! But I got annoyed with having to plug it in and play with amps and pedals and stuff. Then I got given a cheap acoustic, a Tanglewood, and I thought it was awesome because I could play it anywhere!
