Quotes from Stevie Jackson

I'm as Scottish as they come.

I wear glasses and suits, so I guess I am an indie artist.

I've always just given myself to the band, if you know what I mean, and been busy with that.

I got involved in lots of different areas round about 2007, 2008. Just working with lots of different people and stretching myself in different ways. I was working on art projects and working with other writers, just doing bits and pieces, trying to keep busy.
