Q: WHAT DOES “NEVER CONFORM, ALWAYS EVOLVE” MEAN FOR YOU?

It means not bending your spine just to fit in the box they built for you. It’s about burning the map and making your own route - Changing shapes like smoke, but still keeping your spark. We’re not meant to rust in the same routine. We’re meant to riot, to grow, to outgrow, to become.

Q: WHY ARE YOU A VOICE OF DEFIANCE?

Because silence is a slow death, and I’ve never been good at shutting up. I sing for the ones with no mic and no rent money, the dreamers on the dole queue, the fighters in the flatshare. Because someone has to say what the world won’t, and I’ve got a loud mouth and a lot of love.

Q: WHAT’S ONE WAY YOU HAVE DEFIED THE ODDS?

I turned poetry into gigs, tears into tours, and pain into lullabies.

Q: WHAT’S THE HARDEST CHOICE YOU’VE HAD TO MAKE?

Choosing to stay when running seemed easier. To love someone properly. To show up for my mates. To keep going when all the lights were off. Hard choices are the ones no one claps for.

Q: WHAT LESSON DO YOU LIVE BY?

Never trust anyone who says, “You can’t.” Don’t wait for permission. Make a mess. Feel everything. And write it all down before you forget.

Q: WHO OR WHAT SHAPED YOUR APPROACH?

Dylan Thomas, the dole, the Libertines, long nights on motorways and longer ones in hospital waiting rooms. My mam. Every heartbreak I’ve ever dragged into a chorus. And the belief that words can change everything—even you.
