I always said I just wanted to be an artist that made like $500 a week from music and anything on top would be a bonus, so everything that's happened to me now is unreal.

It's always important for me to say something with my music, even if the deeper message is hidden inside of what sounds like a fun, upbeat song.

When you don't have a lot of views, it can feel like nobody cares about you. But it's not necessarily that. It's just that the industry is super tough. You need to find that moment and when you find that moment, or you have that song, you've got to capitalise on it.
