Hello “ “ , How are you?
• Hey, I’m very well thank you, mostly tired but I can get over that!

That’s good, so on with the questions! How did you get started in writing music?
• Well basically, when I was younger, maybe about eight years old, my dad bought an acoustic guitar and taught me how to play. I decided that with the chords I learnt, I would write a song to accompany it. I think the song was called “Highway To Love” or something like that, it was rubbish but I guess I eventually got better!

Have you always known you wanted a career in music or was it a little unexpected?
• I guess I’ve known for a while I wanted to write and play music but I never thought I would get good enough to actually have a fan-base and for people to like it.

Ha-ha, so who is your biggest influence?
• I guess it would have to be my dad considering he is the one who taught me how to play. But then again, arctic monkeys have always been my favourite band and have influenced some of my musical choices in life so I guess them aswell.

Talking of family, do any of your family or friends think it is crazy how quickly you’ve shot to fame?
• Yeah, they all think its mental! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them so overwhelmed. Then again, so are the fans. Honestly, they are so supportive but some of the fans from when I first started out on YouTube just cant believe that their little secret isn’t theirs anymore.

Talking of fans aswell, how are they? Are they crazy obsessed or are they calm about
the whole thing?• Most of them are pretty chilled but you will
always get that one crazy fan! Mine is a girl called Abbie, she comes to all my concerts and has probably been there since YouTube. She always gives me presents and is the sweetest. I couldn’t ask for better fans.

That’s sweet, in your opinion, how have you managed to stay so humble? Considering you’ve
sold out 3 nights at the O2 Arena, that’s amazing!
• To be perfectly honest, I have no idea myself. Three nights is just awesome. Thats like what, 60,000 people who want to see me play. Its just…I have no words.

You’re 17! Aren’t you scared at all?
• I know that’s just what I don’t get. It just proves to me that adults like my music aswell because I don’t think 60,000 teenagers will come and see me. I am absolutely terrified. That’s the biggest audience I have ever played to. The supports have even played bigger audiences than me so I’m sure that they will calm me down before the shows.
