I love listening to all sorts of music! Lately I’ve been listening to Jordan Rakei, Tom Misch, Allen Stone, Nick Hakim and some band arrangements by Snarky Puppy, Hiatus Kaiyote etc. What type of music are you listening to these days? Which artists would you recommend? As soon as we got back to where we were staying, I started writing and every lyric flowed from such a raw and vulnerable space. Hmmm… I wrote a song last year after visiting a flood relief camp in Malawi, Africa and I hold it really close to my heart. She played a massive part in raising my siblings and I, and also my Mum’s family when she was a kid. The first song that I can remember writing was a song for my great aunty who had recently passed away.
It differs every time… sometimes it can take me an hour to write a song, other times it could take me 2 to 3 weeks to finish one.ĭo you remember the first song you ever wrote? What was it about? I’m currently studying music (as well as business) at university and part of my degree is all about songwriting, so I write songs often! But even in our breaks I try to write too, about anything and everything. How often do you write songs? How long does it take for you to write a song? Most of the comments I get are really positive and I’m so thankful for that! There are the few that aren’t so great, but I just enjoy making music and at the end of the day, what I upload is what I feel like jamming. My best friend had moved to Australia and so I decided to dedicate a video to her on YouTube.ĭo you get influenced by people’s comments on your Youtube channel? Does it have an impact on your videos? What made you upload your first video on Youtube? I must’ve been about 12 or 13 when I was told I had a nice voice. It took me a while to believe that I could actually sing! I grew up around a lot of singing so I thought I was pretty average compared to what I had heard. I play mostly guitar, but attempt keys when no one’s watching! Oh, and I love percussion.
#NE YO ONE IN A MILLION CHORDS HOW TO#
I had no idea how to play but I would occasionally pick it up and try and teach myself (meaning playing around until something sounded okay!) My uncles were also guitarists and when they’d come over they’d teach me a thing or two. When I was 11 my teacher had an acoustic guitar and would leave it in the classroom. When did you start learning an instrument? Which instruments can you play? When did you realize you could sing? I was constantly blasting whichever tapes I could find in the car, making up random songs in my head, singing at the top of my lungs in church… I guess it all stemmed from there. I knew I wanted to make music from a very young age.
When did you know you wanted to make music?
