I made Fast Car just in my spare time with no real hopes for it at all.

I was a musician first of all.

I've always wanted to collaborate with Shawn Mendes, he's an amazing artist, but the thing with Shawn is that I won't collaborate... me just sending some beats. It has to be in the studio where we'd both be there recording together.

I think when 'Perfect Strangers' landed and was so well received, it was a magic moment.

I don't sing. I'm the worst singer in the world!

At times, for sure, I do love a party. However, I do love going back to my room and putting on 'Only Fools And Horses' and having a cup of tea.

Albums are great but for an artist like me, I don't think albums are the way to go.

I was never in this for the money. It's all about the passion for the music.

DJs are the new rock stars.

Definitely India is one place I'd love to travel to and play.

I like releasing singles because I can get them out there quickly and it's based on the changes, the sounds that are going on all around the world that I'm hearing and just a whole different bunch of influences which is sometimes hard to get across on an album because it can take a few months or a year to come along.

I hate mess. I have the worst OCD so I'm not a hoarder of clothes.

At the age of 12, I got free pieces of software in a box of cereal which allowed me to make music, like really early demos, and then I just never looked back.

Obviously the music I listened to growing up helped create my musical pallet. My parents were into pop, soul, disco, RNB, Latin, jazz and Middle Eastern music.

I'm always up for collaborating with people who are slightly leftfield.

I've got a lot of girl mates. Especially when you come to Ibiza and you're an Ibiza DJ, everyone comes out and they want to see you.

I love the idea of Pro Tools, but it doesn't seem as attractive to me in terms of the music-making side. It's great for recording, but with Logic you get the best of both worlds, the ability to do great tracking and producing something that sounds great as well.

I think some people have this thing where just because you do singles that means you're not a real artist. It's like hold on a minute - I'm selling millions of records here and been streamed billions of times... How can I not be taken as a real artist just because these songs are singles?

My weakness is women.

A mixer for me needs to have some sort of effects, as it's a big part of how I might hype up the crowd in certain parts of a track, using the delays and filters for instance.

I think the best thing about performing as producer is to hear the fans sing along with your tunes.

Sometimes what makes a great song is that bittersweet combination - a really heartfelt song, whether good or bad, mixed with something that gets you going.

Even when I'm travelling - which is when I do most of my writing - I have a little portable keyboard.

The concept of 'Blue' is to transport its listeners to a different world with music. And I chose to release a full-length album because it enables me to experiment with many different production styles, not just a single sound, and take listeners on a journey.
