The More You Write Tunes, The Better

For Me, Spotify Is Not Even A Necessary Evil. It Helps Me Do What I Want To Do.

I Was On Some Tv Shows With Lady Gaga The Other Week, And You Could See The Difference In Reaction Between Her Fans And My Fans Outside. She Comes Out, And She Looks Like A Star, And The Reaction Is Just Tears, Crying, People Going, 'oh My God, Oh My God.' My Fans Are Like: 'alright, Ed.'

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.

A Sense Of Humor Is An Important Thing To Have Because When You Get Into An Argument, One Of The Best Ways To Diffuse It Is To Be Funny.

I'm Quite Arty. I Didn't Know Whether To Become An Artist Or Musician But I Realised I Could Paint With Music. All My Songs Have Colours.
