“It's important to have good tunes, but words are the thing for me.” — Gabrielle Aplin Quote

It's important to have good tunes, but words are the thing for me.

I think it's all about the people who listen to your music, and loving playing and writing. Once you've got those two, and they're your main two priorities, then radio and TV and all the other stuff that comes with it will come. But that's not the be-all end-all.

I wrote poetry before I wrote songs, and T.S. Eliot was my inspiration. I love his honesty and try to bring that to my own songwriting.

When I was releasing EPs by myself, I was generating royalties. And when I signed, I thought I'd put those royalties into other artists. And interestingly, streaming is most of the income for those artists.

I write tunes about what people say, whatever they say.

I do like a lot of things that a lot of adults would scoff at. 'SpongeBob SquarePants,' 'Looney Tunes.'

Both of my parents have been actors; there were a lot of show tunes on in the car all of the time. I grew up with that.

I used to sing Chaka Khan tunes in the car with my mum when I was eight years old.

There are a million good tunes.
