One of my first favorite records was the debut Garbage album, which I heard when I was very young. Shirley Manson is a great female vocalist and performer and I admire her for that.

My style icons are Leigh Lezark, Gwen Stefani and Shirley Manson.

My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.

I could hum Beatles songs before I could talk - not very well, but sort of.

I'd love to collaborate and write a song with Will Gallagher from Oasis. I think he's a great songwriter.

Like, when I write a song, the song comes first before production. Everything is written on an acoustic guitar so you can strip away everything from it and have it be equally as entertaining and good without the bells and whistles.
