I'm a big Bond fan.		111
I usually enter the studio with a mix of songs that I've been listening to that are relevant to the sound I want to achieve.		112
I started trying to write songs when I was 8 or 9 years old.		113
I've come more to terms with the fact that I sound like myself. No matter what I do, I sound like myself.		114
People need to put my music in a perspective where they use other established artists from the past, and almost all the names I see related to my music are great musicians.		115
