So jamie how does it feel to suddenly be recognised almost everywhere you go?
Its absolutely mad yeah! I was even asked for my autograph the other day, thats when the whole thing really hit home.
And is this industry what you imagined it to be?
Honestly - it’s harder work than i expected, but I have been through much harder to get to where I am today. Its loads of fun and you get to meet some pretty amazing people so the hard work definitely pays off.
Sounds great, whos the most influential person you’ve met so far?
Alex Turner for definite! Its amazing to be able to talk to someone of such high status and still have things in common, for what he’s acheived he’s so down to earth - Great guy.
Yeah he’s a reknowned nice guy, but how has this whole process been affecting your ego?
Well i’ve never been full of myself, what’s the point? Everybodies equal at the end of the day - just some people are luckier than others. I guess.
Speaking of luck, with fame usually comes a lot of freebies, have you received anything substantial?
Well actually my favourite brand Stockholm, sent me out 3 sweatshirts and 2 pairs of jeans last week. They’d noticed me wearing the brand in a few press photo’s and it’s been giving them publicity so I guess they were repaying the favour
Wow, that must’ve been a nice surprise. So speaking of fashion, is it an influential thing to you, or do you see it as just clothes?
It’s definitely not just clothes, I think the way you dress reflects the person you are, thats why i’m always dressed in light hearted colours with subtle accessories. I dont take myself too seriously - and I think that shows through the way I dress.
That’s an interesting way to look at things, so your style isn’t influenced by anybody in particular?
I see my style as a geeked up, hip hop style, and i suppose if I could nail my influences down to a singular person it’d be Pharrel Williams.
Thats unusual as he dresses a lot like you, but you have very contrasting music styles.
Yeah, I guess my music and my look contradict each other, as most people imagine acoustic artists to model themselves asthough they were brought up on a farm, but I was brought up in a city, surrounded by street style.
Well it is obvious to see that the balance between the two works really well. Unfortunately it seems that i've squeezed as much time out of you as i'm going to be given, but as myself and the in flux readers would love to hear more about you and your rise to fame, maybe we can revisit this interview again further down your promising music career. It's been a pleasure speaking with you, and I wish you the best of luck for the future.
I wanted to keep the questions and answers to a style that would fit the artists outlook, he is not an excitable person, nor is he obnoxious and rude, he is infact a reserved person, that is passionate about his career. I feel the interview is ok, it could maybe do with some tweaks so that it flows better though.
