What was the first instrument you fell in love with?
Drums when I was about 8 after watching school of rock but my parents wouldn’t let me have a drum kit so they got me a guitar instead.
What kind of music did you love when you were younger?
To be honest, I still listen to the same music I did when I was 15. A lot of music these days sounds the same. It’s not special.
What was the first album you remember owning?
Hot fuss - the killers! I remember driving to Scotland as a kid with my grandparents and that was only disc they had in the car.
What is the one song you wished you could have written yourself?
Live forever by Oasis
Do you have any habits or rituals you go through when trying to write new music?
Usually I just get high and then see what happens! Depends how the day is going. The worse my day is the better the music comes out.
Who are your favourite artists you have found yourself listening to at the moment?
Recently I’ve really got into modern baseball again, it reminds me of when the world wasn’t so fucked.
If you could open a show for anyone in the world, who would it be?
Post Malone
What do you find is the most rewarding part about being a musician?
The creative outlet it gives me.
And what is the most frustrating part?
When I don’t feel inspired.
And what is the best piece of advice you have received as a musician?
Fuck what people think, you have to do it for yourself.
