“I never got lessons. I took influence from Chet Baker, Ian Dury, and Joe Strummer. I don't hear my voice and think, 'Yeah, that's a banging voice!' It's more about putting the right emotions into the right words and the lyrics than anything else to me.”

“I just wanted to make melodies. I started trying to do my own thing and let the melodies make the genre themselves.”

“Literary fiction, as a strict genre, is all but dead. Meanwhile, most genres flourish.”
