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.
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.
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 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.
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.
