The Thing That I Took Away As

The More You Write Tunes, The Better They Will Become. The More You Do Gigs, The Better You Will Become.

The Public Has Heard The Stereotypical Love Songs A Million Times, And They've Heard The Stereotypical Life-or-death Songs Millions Of Times. It's Good To Mix It Up A Little Bit.

I Saw Damien Rice In Dublin When I Was 13, And That Inspired Me To Want To Pursue Being A Songwriter... I Practised Relentlessly And Started Recording My Own Eps. At 16 I Moved To London And Played Any Gigs I Could, Selling Cds From My Rucksack To Fund Recording The Next, And It Snowballed From There.

I've Never Really Been A Confident Person, Except From A Musical Standpoint. I Had To Push Myself Early On, But It Got Easier With Each Gig.

The Whole 'studly Womaniser' Thing, I Mean, I Quite Enjoy The Title - It's Just Not Very Accurate.
