Probably say a bit of both. Everything in moderation.

Anything. It could be through instrumentation like a chord progression, melody, bass line. But can also be through reflections of your own emotions like family/relationships.

5 — As an artist, you have been described by BBC6 Tom Robinson as having “lovely vocals, and sharp lyrics”. What else set you apart from other singers?

I don’t try and compete with others so its tough question for me to answer. I have made music for myself and have been fully focused on honing my skill set and challenging myself to create new ideas. Even if it does make me feel uncomfortable!

Hold You Back was written about a year before it came out in November 2017. The video was filmed over 3 days but the whole music video process took months to complete.

It’s about love and my relationship.

In the Lake District, North-West England.

I’ve got about 3/4 ideas all of which are different. As the autumnal season has hit us I find myself playing around with open tunings and folk. However, I have a single ready to go which is a powerful upbeat indie throwback. I think people will enjoy its vibe.

10 — Lastly, what has been your biggest success so far?

Having awesome support around me, always.
