Artist description Life is about having a story to tell - and being interested in other people’s stories. There’s a lot I want to get down, and life is very short. The music is important, but the melody that lingers long after the record has stopped is more important. A record has got to make you feel something; make you feel alive, and want to stand in front of people with just your voice and your music. I believe in imperfection – it’s far more exciting. Electronic music is still created by humans, and humans are far from perfect. Electronics, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, beats, no beats; whatever is best for the song. That’s where I am.
