I've always found myself to be most free and creatively open when I'm on my own.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I grew up with parents who really encouraged me to listen to as much music as I could.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
My mission is to just keep creating music. If it helps people in some way, then I'm doing the right thing.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I genre-hop quite a lot. I love manipulating genre and deconstructing it and making it irrelevant. Genreless music is great because it means you get to write in any genre that you like.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I would sing around the house, and I would always play on things just because instruments were always there, but I didn't show any genius as a child. I wasn't a prodigy or anything like that.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I got to a point when I was 20 that I dropped out of university because I felt I didn't have any purpose, and I wanted to find a fire in me.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I spent my entire childhood going 'look at me, look at me, look at me,' before realising I needed someone to look at me for more than just what I was showing off for.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
The best music is the music which brings out something of you that you didn't know was there before, or you did know was there but had avoided.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I get inspired by the sounds that evoke an emotion from me. That's what I am drawn to; that's what turns me on.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
Performing outside is always kind of strange. Usually, you can't hear something, whether it's your voice or instrument, but it's a fun challenge.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I was studying primary school education. I was going to be a teacher. I was going to get my teaching qualification and have that as my safety net and then tackle the music industry.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
The most important thing for me is to have as much control over what's going on in front of me as I possibly can, so because of that, I don't play to a click track, and I don't have anything on the grid. Everything is triggered by me. Everything is played by me. Everything is within my control.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
It's amazing to be nominated for the Brits' Critics' Choice Award 2016. It's such a significant award that highlights the importance of new music, so it's a genuine honour to have been nominated alongside some other incredible new acts from the U.K.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I was put through piano lessons when I was a kid. I say 'put through' because it was fun and I loved it, and it's been beneficial now, but it was difficult because, although I can read music, I much prefer just playing and improvising and at least finding my own way to play an instrument.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
The reason I'm scared of flying is because I'm not in charge. Being so far out of control terrifies me.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I like making sounds and putting it together, I'm not just a singer or a producer.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
The only intention I've ever had creatively, as a musician, is to be as different from myself as possible.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
Music has always been part of my family's life. My brother, sister, and I all have the same ability to pick up an instrument and play.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I remember listening to 'Songs In The Key Of Life' as a kid. Stevie Wonder has an ability to manipulate pop into something globally obtainable. Anyone can listen and enjoy it because there's something for everyone. That woke me up to the possibilities of pop music.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
The thing that was most constant when I was growing up was just complete support and adoration from my parents.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
It's difficult sometimes to go and see a show and enjoy it and not go and see a show and critique it.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I find myself working ten steps ahead of where I actually am on my laptop or keyboard, but I know what the ten steps are. I just haven't got to them yet.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I'm just here to do the best that I can do with the music that I make, and I'm not making it for any other reason than I feel like I have to. These ideas have to be created because they're in me, and if I leave them in my head, I'll go crazy.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
With the BBC Sound list, it's just humbling even being put aside those other musicians - people like Alicia Kava, who I am a huge fan of.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
As a kid, I could just pick up melody and harmony instinctively, and that's why I can play lots of instruments.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I would go to school and try to talk to my mates about music and playing instruments and stuff, and they would turn around and go, 'What're you talking about? Shut up.' And I realised that I was the weird one.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
Genre hopping is something I intend to do, and I intend to do it forever and ever because I think genres are boring.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
Lyrics are really, really hard, I think, or at least they're really hard for me. Some people can channel lyrics faster. I find them very hard to find, so because of it, they take me a long time, and I really think about them.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I didn't do myself any favours. I would be resentful of my own ideas even before I'd said them out loud. But music was always the most consistent and peaceful thing for me. So I taught myself to be my harshest critic rather than just a mean voice in the back of my head.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
Ever since I was a little kid, my ears and my hands would talk to each other very well, so I could pick up instruments quite easily.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
My mum would play Stevie Wonder around the house, and I remember just loving the songs and feeling so blown away by how much was going on.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
I've purposely made my music to be challenging and different. There's some electronics, R&B, blues, Motown, country, jazz and lots of soul.
Quote by -Jack Garratt
With every milestone that I've come across, there's always been a little note at the bottom that's said, 'Don't worry, there's another milestone coming up.'
