When I was busking, when I was paying for petrol with silver coins or when I was sneaking into hostels so I could park my van up and sleep in it, I had the best time of my life.
There was a lot of times when I was busking there were a lot of people in your face, like 'More, more! Go again, again, again!'... People were so used to be able to swipe to see something different to entertain themselves that the patience had diminished.
Just because my song was being played on the radio didn't mean I had a load of money. You don't get royalties overnight.
I'm scared of being a one-hit wonder because my second single has set the bar too high.
I thought the world of live performance and busking was where I was going to thrive. I had no idea that digital streaming platforms and radio and that world would be for me, you know?
People like me for who I am, I don't wanna change that, if anything I just wanna hone my craft and get better at it.
