Fianc\u00e9<\/em> all about? Who\u2019s your dream fianc\u00e9 while we\u2019re on the topic?<\/b><\/p>\nIt seemed to fit as there was this completely new sound that I was committing to. It\u2019s been weird as since the release schedule started I\u2019ve seen a load of people I know getting engaged! Like with my lyrics, meanings often present themselves after I\u2019ve written them. As for my dream fianc\u00e9 – my girlfriend of course!<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve said you\u2019re \u201cway past\u201d the sound you started with, how do you think you\u2019ve changed?<\/b><\/p>\n
It\u2019s been frustrating as my previous releases are all stuff I wrote\/released when I was 17-19. I\u2019ve matured, both lyrically and sonically, found my feet production-wise, and really nailed down my own sound. That\u2019s such a cliche, but if you listen to the record I think it’s hard to compare it exactly to other specific artists. There are elements of influences there of course, but I feel like it stands on it own and that\u2019s something I\u2019m very proud of and glad to have finally accomplished.<\/p>\n
Did you surprise yourself with anything when you were making the album?<\/b><\/p>\n
Perhaps with how quickly it came together. I do a lot of co-writing, and that feels slightly more like work than writing for artist projects – for artist projects the inspiration is so important. If you\u2019re writing alone you need the motivation that inspiration brings. I just had this wave over a month or so that everything I wrote seemed to fit this overarching aesthetic, and that became Fianc\u00e9. I think it suprised me that I finally found a sound I\u2019d be wanting to achieve for a while, and the ease with which that came.<\/p>\n
Who was the first person to tell you that you were talented?<\/b><\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure actually. Perhaps when I started releasing terrible acoustic songs on fucking Bebo when I was like 14. At least I could put words and music together at that stage – though without any sort of sophistication at all!<\/p>\n

Do you have a first memory of music?<\/b><\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to pin-down – whenever I try to think of childhood memories I always question whether they really happened or they were a dream. Maybe playing in a covers band in year 7 at school. It felt weird that I could actually really do what I\u2019d dreamed about as a 13 year-old after watching School of Rock<\/em> and spending months getting incredibly frustrated with trying to play guitar.<\/p>\nWho else were you listening to while you were making the album?<\/b><\/p>\n
A ton of different stuff. I can\u2019t really remember as it\u2019s been so long since I actually made it! This is where Last.fm finally comes in handy right? *checks Last.fm* – It looks like Glasser, S. Carey, St Vincent, Menomena, and Holy Other are some of my top artists around the time.<\/p>\n
The tracks you\u2019ve already put out are amazing – all moody and dramatic, where do you think is the best place and time to listen?<\/b><\/p>\n
Thank you! Probably when it\u2019s quiet with headphones. I think almost every more alternative-leaning artist would say that though. I used to listen to music in bed with headphones on a lot and just started doing it again – because your ears adjust to the silence you notice so many things you never normally would.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve already reached a lot of pretty big milestones in terms of collabs and your tonnes of spotify plays, what\u2019s next on the agenda, have you got any personal goals?<\/b><\/p>\n
I want to keep collaborating with different artists and make as much (ideally good) music in as many different genres that I love as I can. Ali (Novo Amor) and I have a full collaborative record almost finished, and I\u2019m working on various other collaboration projects, as well as demoing new \u2018me\u2019 stuff. To be able to write and make music for a living is always the main goal.<\/p>\n
