A lot of music influences me in other ways than this, but I've always taken a lot of influence from Stevie Wonder, Frank Ocean, and Jeff Rosenstock for the Rex music. They were also the first three artists that released albums where I enjoyed every song.
I think there's no limit to ambition, and if you want something, you can make anything happen, so go for it.
As long as you're being yourself and putting out what you want to put out, it'll be the best thing you could do.
I realized that you can achieve so much at the front of a stage, releasing the music yourself and being something more selfish than just the drummer.
I've never been uncomfortable sharing stuff. It's almost the opposite. I'll say the most blunt, brutally honest thing about any situation.
I'm quite stubborn, and it's hard for me to let people in - whether that's literally, musically, or with business and work.
School did stress me out, like it does for a lot of young people. I didn't like having to do work that I didn't care about.
I think 'Apricot Princess' actually came out before 'Flower Boy.'
I grew up in a small village on the border of Hampshire and Surrey. When people ask, I tend to say that I'm from Haslemere.
I'm afraid of peacocks.
I'm not actually as emotional as everybody thinks. The songs are super personal, but that's just one side of me, and I guess people just assume I'm some troubled guy who's constantly sad.
I'd rather go to school and do loads of music than anything else.
The first person on the BBC that played me was Huw Stephens. I was sat around my laptop with my girlfriend and my family, and it was super-exciting. It felt weird, and it sounded weirder, but it was great.
I won't be the kind of artist speaking in riddles all the time - it will be lyrics that make sense the moment I say them.
I want to make myself better and get working with some of my biggest influences and make the best music I can.
I took piano lessons and I wanted to play drums when I was six. Luckily enough, my parents let me have a drum kit in my room - which is kind of crazy.
The moment you start thinking about what other people and other artists think, you're going to start writing like other people.
I write songs, I play instruments, and I produce music that comes out for the world.
Alex Tumay is a recording engineer who works a lot with Young Thug and a load of other rappers, like Quavo. I'm just a fan of his work.
I love things that are really linear and perfect and simple.
