Even though I am signed to an American label, I want Australia to fall in love with my music because if it doesn't work here, it won't work anywhere.
I'm not trying to say I'm this artist who is all artsy and that I only write music for myself, because I don't. I write music for other people to enjoy, so I think about if it'd be an idea someone else would like.
Nineties music was what I grew up with, and I want to make music that's soulful but that you can also dance and drive to.
I want to touch people with the music and help them through whatever they're going through. That's what music's there for - making people happy.
I knew I wanted to do music at eight years of age. I listened to a lot of Motown growing up, and it got to the point where I started mimicking people - Michael Jackson or whoever. People started to notice I could hold a tone. The bug was always there.
