1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to sip on while they listen to your new music?
To be honest i’m not the biggest drinker anymore but if you’re going to drink and listen to
some Luvley i’d recommend white rum and mixer of your choice, i like white rum and
mango rubicon personally.
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
I actually just released a song called ‘if im honest’ with a really cool music video that I
suggest you go check out. I’ve got a lot more music coming this year with my next song
coming out in July so make sure to go and follow me on instagram @ohsoluvley to keep
up to date with everything i’ve got going on. I’m constantly posting teasers and going live
showing off new music as well as posting my upcoming shows so you don’t want to miss
out!
3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)
I’m really into conspiracy theories especially to do with aliens and one of the craziest I
ever heard is that we as a species are actually part alien. The theory says that aliens
came across earth and found apes and decided to mix their DNA with the apes to speed
up and help evolution and that became us. Would be mental if it were true.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
I wouldn’t really say I have a style, I just wear what I want to be honest. I am really into
fashion I luv nice overshirts I got a lot of those and I used to wear almost entirely baggy
cargo trousers but over the past year or so started really liking nice jeans and trousers
and I luv going thrifting and finding cool cheap clothes shops. I never really wore any
designer or big brands much growing up coz I never really had any money for clothes so
you had to pick wisely and build cool outfits that were versatile and you’d still wanna
wear in a years time. I mean the staple of my wardrobe is my white vests that I get from
primark, I got like 20 or something stupid. I really do luv shoes tho I’m a massive nike fan
of course and I also really like a lot of new balance shoes.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
A lot of my music is about the struggles I go through with everything from heartbreak to
everyday struggles with my personal life and my mental health, its actually through
writing my music that I deal with and process a lot of the emotions you hear coming
through in the songs. I hope my music can be a place where people can release those
emotions that build up from anything they’re dealing with and I really hope my songs give
them comfort in knowing they are not alone in the feelings they have and they can come
out the other side of them much stronger. A lot of my songs do focus on lost luv and
heartbreak because that’s something i’ve had real experience with and I think almost
anybody can relate to missing someone or even just feeling alone. I hope listening to my
music can be an escape from those feelings as much as making my music is for me.
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
When I was younger I actually did a bit of acting. I did a lot of small pantomimes, I did
extra work in a couple of films where I met Kit Harrington and Jude Law and even did
Sam and Marks Big Friday Wind Up which was really funny, they had my mum driving a
go kart blind folded. I’ve played a lot of sports but my best was a bit of an unusual one
for an English person but I played American Football from 14 until I was 18.
Unfortunately i’m not the fastest so my NFL dreams were dead quite early but my
Granda who i’m named after actually was a professional footballer back in Northern
Ireland.
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
5 words to describe my music would be Energetic, Melancholic, Melodic, Strange &
Luvley
8. How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??
I’ve been writing music since I was quite young I started playing with writing songs when I was 6/7 years old and i’d rewrite my favourite songs just with my own lyrics. I was never really that great at singing I just always really loved singing so I never stopped and overtime I got better and better. I sang so much I always just wanted to sound good singing my favorite songs so eventually you have to figure it out and as your voice
develops you learn how to control it overtime. I always loved writing songs that’s always
been my biggest passion and it came quite naturally to me and I just worked at it
constantly growing up. Now a lot of the time when i’m making music I don’t write much
down I just go with what comes to my head when i’m singing and it almost helps me get
out of my own way. It wasn’t even really a dream thing until I was like 15 I just loved
making my own music so much it became my whole life. I’d also like to say to anyone
interested in making their own music, if you have songs inside of you make them, it doesn’t matter how little resources you have nowadays you can create amazing songs even just on your phone. Make your music!
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
Q. How do you deal with being lonely?
I meditate a lot, I workout a lot, I write a lot not just music I do my best to keep a
diary/journal. Finding out what I enjoy doing most in life and keeping myself busy with
those things is what really helped me and still helps me everyday to be the best version
of me for me. Also get some luv in your life whether that be a friend, relationship or even
your family make sure to keep luving those around you always.
