Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to zip on while they listen to your new music?
I don’t know how when this happened but in the process of making this music, whiskey has been my go to drink. It definitely compliments my new music
Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
Man, everything feels like it’s happening all at once! My new single ‘falling into place ft. Debbie’ is one of my favourite songs. Debbie’s vocals took this song to a beautiful place and, to be honest, it’s a nice change of pace from my heartbreak era of music.
Im currently working on lots of new music including 2 more EPs, that I will release this year, and my first studio album which is coming in 2025! My last two EPs (‘I TRIED’ and ‘I WILL’) will close out this introductory chapter of story. I’ll be digging deeper into more personal struggles and stories and expanding into more genres.
As for tour dates, I’m just finishing out my tour with Teddy Swims now and I will be going back on the road in NOVEMBER 2024 for my headline tour with my incredible band. We’ll be travelling back around Europe and playing the biggest shows I’ve ever played. I cannot wait!!
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 do love a good conspiracy theory. I’m not gonna lie, I’m still convinced that dragons existed. They appear in too many ancient books man, I think I’m on to something.
What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
Right now I think my music is sitting between street and smart fashion. There’s a few brands that fit my music perfectly like adidas and Karl Lagerfeld.
Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
I feel like I give so much of my embarrassing and traumatic experiences away in my songs so I’m glad that they find a home with my fans!
With my new music I’ve been exploring themes of growth, self awareness and hope. I’ve been moving forward from the place of toxicity and loneliness that my old music embodied.
Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I don’t know if you’d call gaming a talent but I’m pretty good at it!
Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
I started from literal street level, so every step we go from here is a blessing
I sing and write from a place of honesty
I am genre-bending
I was raised in Newcastle
I was made in London
How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??
I taught myself to sing and write and play guitar. My mum used to say I sing more than I speak, so I think i was doing that from the very start. Guitar came a bit later, I had a few lessons at 11 but couldn’t figure it out. A year or two later I taught myself to play through YouTube.
A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
You know what, nobody has asked me about my favourite musical before. It’s Hamilton of course.
