There's a lot of amazing women out there. There's a lot of hot models. But models are the worst, because they're models, you have to always step up and always look good.

Well after 'Fast Car' was so huge, everyone was asking me, 'What's the next song?' At the time I just had ideas I was working on, but it was very clear I needed to finish another song ASAP, and that's how 'Perfect Strangers' came about.

I've tried to write songs that just make people feel happy and good.

I've always worked from a young age and was never big on drinking or smoking, so whatever money I had I put into synths.

I am always listening to new music and reading about music.

It's the worst feeling, going into your record label when you haven't got a hit. It was like: 'Maybe you've lost it.' And, once you're done, that's it. There's no support, or anyone to help you.

It's great to see Latino music coming to the mainstream, but at the same time, there are also a lot more styles to explore: African music, Indian music, Chinese music.

I've gone through a lot of 'nos' from record labels but I've built a great team along the way and that's the best thing you can have - people around you who believe in you and drive you forward.

I was a bit of a hot head when I was younger so I used to burn a lot of bridges.

I'm a songwriter and producer, so I'm always wanting to make my own stuff, and not use anybody else's.

I come from the streaming world, so the changing trend of consuming music that way is positive for me.

I got into DJing because that was the coolest thing to do and I've never looked back.

It's definitely hard to have relationships. When your life moves so quickly, people generally want replies on messenger apps and sometimes I don't get back to people for two or three weeks.

When I was seven years old I played the flute, then by 11 I quit being a musician and got into Djing.

If I could stay in a dressing gown all day I would.

Anyone can be a DJ but it's understanding how to read a crowd and keeping them on the floor is what takes years of experience.

I'm actually a big fan of turning off my phone and ignoring it for large chunks of the day.

As soon as I finish meditating, I get a beautiful feeling of expanded consciousness. When I'm in this headspace I can make so much progress in my writing.

I've always lived in my head, which is very easy to do when you live and work in a city.

I'm not interested in making an album that's just dark and pummelling for an hour, nor am I interested in making a beatless record from start to finish.

Overall, 'Singularity' has a certain lightness to it compared to 'Immunity.' It's less closed off; it doesn't have that claustrophobic sound.

I learned over the years to trust that the subconscious is going to provide guidance.

Making music has always had a therapeutic effect on me.

I was drawn to music from a super early age. At school, my ego co-opted it to some degree and I would use it to gain some sort of social credibility.
