Musician

I'm a huge hip-hop fan from way back in the day.

In my eyes, there's no one better than Stevie Wonder. He's a top dude.

I've always been a massive fan of John Mayer. I think he's very talented.

As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations.

There were a couple of things I needed to do while I was in New York. One was to have a pizza pie, one was to get a tattoo... and the other was to get a Yankees hat.

I personally don't think ginger men have a habit of being attractive. We have to make ourselves seem attractive by doing stuff.

Nashville is wicked. It's like a proper music community, but it's also quintessentially American. You bump into people there with cowboy hats that spit in jars and call you 'boy.' I just love that.

It was my love for the guitar that first got me into music and singing. Growing up, I was inspired by The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Damian Rice was a huge influence for me musically.

Whenever you have an ex, and they're like, 'I hope we can still be friends!' and you weren't friends before you started dating, then what do you go back to, really?

I do like my hair. It took a while to come around to the fact that it was quite a unique value point.

If Adele's seen as boring, then I'm happy to be boring as well.

The whole 'studly womaniser' thing, I mean, I quite enjoy the title - it's just not very accurate.

I've done some really weird gigs. The ones where no one turned up - they're probably not the interesting ones to talk about. I played some pretty random ones in L.A. I signed to play all-R&B nights or an all-comedy night where I'd be the only white person there. They were fun.

The best thing about being on the road in general is just playing every single night in front of people that are genuinely fans of your music.

I don't know if my songs fit in films.

Instead of writing songs for girls, I tend to write albums, which I guess is a bit weird.

I don't really do that whole 'single life' thing. I'm kind of heads down and get things done.

I'd like to have kids and a wife, and you know, drop them off at school and like, do normal things rather that constantly being on tour. Because I'm young now and I haven't really got a social life. This is all I do. It's the best job in the world, but I'll get to the point where there's more to life than work.
