I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.
I like records that flow really well and you don't have to skip around because there's lot of different jumps.
I really love things with melody.
I should have a therapist. I have plenty to therapise about.
My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops.
If you're a female and you get asked by someone who shoots the most beautiful female scenes to be in their film, it's kind of exciting.
In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.
Anyone can look pretty with hair and make-up.
I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.
Designers send me clothes I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing.
Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.
For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
There are absolutely no problems between me, my dad and my sister. Obviously I grew up with just my mum, but my relationship with my dad is just fine.
