I love performing. The more I do it, the more I grow into it.

I second guess everything I do musically, and I often could spend hours on, say, one snare sound.

Sometimes it feels like it's show after show after show - like it's 'Groundhog Day,' and you feel like you're lost in the system.

I'd wear all APC if I could afford it and wasn't embarrassing to go head-to-toe in one brand.

It's like my parents' musical tastes are the mother and father of my music. It's their fault for making me so emotional and in tune with my emotions!

I think the most-played record in our house was the 'Big Chill' Soundtrack - so Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, Otis Redding. I think that's where I got my love for a good hook, a good soul hook - really smooth and warm and from the heart.

Ultimately, I love making music more than anything. And I want to do that for ever. I don't want be on the top. I just want to keep doing what I'm doing.

Chet Faker's a reference to the late Chet Baker. I'm a big fan of his vocal style; it's quite fragile and soft, and that was a style I wanted to take on.
