I remember getting a toilet in our house. I remember sharing a bedroom with my sister, and my little sister was sleeping in my mom and dad's room.

I don't think I can remain anonymous for that much longer. It was fun while it lasted. Very fun.

If it was up to me, it would be nice not ever to get stopped on the street, because we just do music. I didn't do this to become a celebrity.

Our art, in a sense, is quite revolutionary.

Christiania has a lot of strong, nuclear families. It gave us a sense of empowerment and belonging and richness. We had so much love; we were never in doubt that we were wanted in this world.

That's why I can't listen to a whole record of Adele's. She has the most amazing voice, but people must have convinced her they just want to hear love songs.

We mix a lot of genres - soul, pop, jazz - but we most agree on hip-hop.

I don't know why, but I don't fancy writing love songs; I never have.

I write about what happens in my life - and my dad's passing was a huge blow to me.

I never want to lose sight of my roots... A lot of artists want the riches and the fame. I want to tell stories you can put into the context of your life.

My biggest influence is rap. It spoke to me, probably because of my upbringing in Christiania. You listen to 'The Chronic' and you can hear that anger and frustration.

Listening to all these different musical genres from all over the world and listening to my father's record collection, the Irish folk influences from home. Of course they're all in there somewhere hiding within the lyrics and melodies. But rap music was the biggest influence on my way of writing and my performing.
