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!

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’d love to write for One Direction. I think they’ve done incredibly well.

I’ve kind of achieved everything I thought that I never would, so I haven’t really got a bucket list. But I really wanna go to loads of different places.

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 think it’s nice to work and then have success.

When I went to City of Bath College, I studied the music business

I’m quite annoying and can’t imagine what it would be like living with me 24/7.

I’m really busy, but I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.

I wrote poetry before I wrote songs, and T.S. Eliot was my inspiration. I love his honesty and try to bring that to my own songwriting.

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.

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.

As long as we’re together, does it matter where we go?

Let yourself be beautiful.

I’ve seen devils. I’ve seen saints. I’ve seen the line between them fade.

You are the snowstorm- I’m purified, the darkest fairy tale in the dead of night.

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?

When you’re playing to an audience that isn’t your own, it’s quite scary.

I’ve been writing songs since I was like six or seven. I’ve been writing poetry and short stories and stuff, but my first serious, serious song, I wrote when I was fourteen.

You are a shelf of books without the pages.

I love Françoise Hardy. She’s my dream, she’s just amazing.

I think being a singer-songwriter… your job is to tell a story that other people can’t really tell themselves.
