The first time I realised I was good at my job…
Well I still haven’t realised that [laughs]. I wouldn’t say there was a point when I realised I was good, but there was a point I realised that what I was doing was important, that I could help other people in the way that music helped me.

When I released one of my first songs, a single called Right Thing, I got a lot of messages about it. One guy sent me a long email about what he’d been through, coming out and being rejected by his family, and how the song had helped him. It was deep. At that point I was like, OK, this is important. Even when it feels hard, it’s beyond me now. If my music helps one person or two people, that’s what it’s about.
