Describe your style in 3 words?
Kind of tailored sporty, This is England vibe. People always say I look like an extra from This is England, but growing up in London it’s more like a fuse of that.

How should you music be listened to?
In a sweaty space, just losing yourself and not being conscious of anything else - just switching off.

Just like the food? On tour you just got to eat weird stuff, whatever’s there - like sandwiches with chicken escalopes in, and you’re like I could just nail my normal food right now.

Morrissey, The Smiths - lyrically totally inspired by. Outside of the UK, St Vincent, Spring King and The Internet at the moment.
