“I come from a jazzy, acoustic, folky background. Everything has to work with melodies; the words have to have meaning.”

“I started singing very early. I was six or seven years old, and I was singing along to TV commercials and figuring out, 'Oh, hey, I can sing in tune. This is really cool.' But the songwriting thing came much much later, when I was 19 years old.”

“Once in a while, I write in Malay and work on something fun that's more for the local Malaysian market, and when that happens, it's always something really special; it speaks volumes that I'm doing it for my fans who have been there for me since day one.”

“I love the acoustic sets. Growing up, me and my dad would always watch those because we loved seeing the songs stripped back.”

“I always lived with guitarists. When they would leave, I would just pick up their acoustic guitars and start doing finger picking and write.”

“For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar.”
