What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? I remember when I was younger, couldn’t have been more than 8 or 9, seeing an advert for like HD TVs and they basically had Jimi Hendrix playing “Foxy Lady” in this stunning clarity. I was transfixed. Didn’t even really listen to music then, but I think I was always drawn to it, the idea of making music. I really started learning an instrument so I could make songs, when I decided that was what I wanted to do; I was obsessed with the idea of being a songwriter and learning the guitar seemed the quickest way to do that. If I’d realised how bad those first songs were, believe me, I’d have stopped then. If not for music though, I’d like to be doing something freelance, maybe a photographer or something like that.
