Music is my release.

I've always connected with music. Life's not always what you see; it's what going on in your head. Music is what comes out of your subconscious.

I can't stand watching myself on TV.

I grew up in a middle class English family just outside London. I wasn't surrounded by that speedy city lifestyle, it was a little mellower.

I have two older brothers. I am the baby. We're all very, very close. We're great communicators, so we get along really well.

This is my trademark: I rip my T-shirt. I'm into the whole showing-a-bit-of-chest-hair thing.
