“I was a happy child a lot of the time and my parents were always wanti...” — Declan McKenna Quote

I was a happy child a lot of the time and my parents were always wanting to give me and my siblings the freedom to do what we wanted.

I've been very fortunate to have my music spread widely via the Internet.

There's definitely a love-hate relationship I think a lot of bands have with touring.

I have a platform and I want to use it wisely rather than just being like 'this is the hot topic' and forcing myself to write songs about it.

The Key To Life On Earth' reflects on mundanity and hostility. I suppose it's set in suburbia much like my hometown. The video sees two people, who are very similar, in conflict with each other, and I think that's the simplest analogy for the song's purpose.

I'm a very observational storyteller, and I'm always relational - a lot of stories stem from relationships, whether it's me with my husband, me with my mom or my siblings.

There's something about the kind of unconditional wild joy of creating that you have with your siblings that I am always trying to get back to.

I was the first of my siblings born here in the United States.

I always wanted a sibling.

If they were siblings, 'Hairless Toys' would be the nice child, and 'Take Her Up to Monto' is more of a problem child.
