“I love music, I love making music and I have never had the opportunity before.”

“I just want to express myself. I don’t care about being any good at making music, I just want to express my feelings and I find making music can take me out of bad feelings. Also, when I make music with my friends I feel like I understand them more, even the guys that can’t speak.”

“80s Madonna, Backstreet Boys, Westlife. The classics.”

“I like playing the Piano a lot. [In the studio], I like making electronic pop music using keyboards and synthesisers.

Writing lyrics about my life helps me understand my problems and find solutions for them. For example in 'Where is Patricia?’ I sing about feeling bad at the weekends because I’m bored and lonely, however the second half of the song I sing about how I can use friends to feel less alone and can use music and art to stop the boredom, which gives me the bad feelings at the weekend. In ‘Sunshine’ I sing about the things I don’t like about myself, but writing these lyrics gave me a change of view and I realise I make others happy and I make great music, so there is a lot to love about myself.”

“I don’t think music has an impact on my behaviour, I have good behaviour anyway. Good behaviour is being nice, helping out, being a good friend and bringing a good vibe to every room.”

“Making music makes me feel good, when I play the piano I feel confident in myself and my ability. When I write lyrics about my life, even though it can bring up bad feelings I feel better about things. Being open about your feelings is a good thing, it takes the weight off you and is a step towards fixing the problems.”
