How did you first get into music?

Yeah, I suppose I’ve always been into music. When I first came, I got into rock as a genre. I suppose that was the first, and then I got into Bethan’s and Green Day and stuff.

Where do you see your music career in 10 years?

Hopefully, making enough money to live with it; that’s my dream, at least to be able to live off making up Like 10 years, so you can make one out of every two years, that would be five albums, 10 years, and five albums in 10 years. About five hours sounds good

Favourite musician?

Favourite musician. My favourite musician is The Shag, my favourite musician band; who’s your favourite musician of all time, ever dead or a singular person of one single person? I suppose I’ve got to appreciate that Cain was a marketing genius

How do you differ from most artists?

Oh no, I don’t. I don’t think I do that much like II. I think I have very similar influences to most of our artists I’ve got I can’t think of anything particular that’s like so much is just like what how I make my musical, I guess.

I suppose because they start with the research, I’ll listen to loads of stuff, and it won’t just be punk that I’m listening to. I’ll listen to jazz or just like Beach Boys before I influence or trace Celtic music or anything like that, and then I’ll see what I can pick out from that, but I like, and then I’ll write the guitar first and then once I’ve got that done with the drums and everyone then I’ll write the lyrics

What inspires you as an artist?

Oh no, I take of any kind of politics as well. I think I think for me, at least, my art has to have a meeting behind it and so I if I don’t have anything to write about, then I can’t write anything that makes sense at the moment is it easier to write or harder to write given the current climate, it’s easier to have ideas, but it’s hard to write those ideas because I feel like there is a lot going on politically but I want to say something that I think truly expresses how I feel about it and that means I have to do like research into like I read like political science papers and stuff like that And I always try and frame look at it through the frame of it now through the eyes of a particular that Yes, dialectical materialism

What is your view on the politics in the UK and the US at the moment?

I think there’s a severe lack of empathy in the general public as a whole, but when it comes to politics, I feel like it’s very much the same as it’s always been. It’s there to support the upper class, and that’s all it will be there for.
