I do tend to divide my childhood into darkness and light, and the first seven years were certainly the darkness.
What I'm making music for now is more similar to what I was doing in the beginning. In those days it was all about doing music so when people heard it in a club it would take their minds of their worries. I got more artistic but now I've gone back to basics.
But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.
