1) What inspired your song "How to be"?
I was actually having a bit of writer's block at the time, and one day Rob Pattinson started telling me about a new movie that he was about to start shooting called How To Be. He told me it was about a young musician who was basically a bit of a failure with girls and in life in general. I thought it sounded really funny and I identified with it straight away and thought maybe I could write something for the soundtrack. So I went home and wrote it in a couple of days and gave it to Rob. Everyone really liked it but unfortunately it was too late to be used for the movie as the soundtrack had already been cut. I played it at a gig a few weeks later just for a bit of fun really and it got such a great response from the crowd i thought, actually.. I'll keep this song for myself!
2) If you can choose for which Rob's movie you would write a song? Why?
I have a new song called "Stay" which is probably the most romantic thing I've ever written. I've had quite a few emails from Twilight fans saying it would fit really well on the next Twilight movie... and I definitely wouldn't object if that were to happen!
3) What do you think about your song ‘Falling in love for the last time’ become a sort Rob & Kristen theme tune?
I think it's great! I'm just really pleased that so many people are being positive about the song and I'm very grateful that it has allowed my music to be heard by a much wider audience.
4)What are your future plans?
I've just started talks with Bobby Long's manager Phil Taylor at Up All Night Music Management about doing a 50 date tour of the USA from February until mid April next year. I think that America is such an important place within the music industry and the people there are always really positive and enthusiastic about music. I've been communicating with lots of fans over there already about touring there and they have already been really supportive, offering their help and wanting to be involved. I can't wait to get out there and repay them with some great gigs.
I'm also back in the studio next month with Stereophonics producer Jim Lowe to start work on some new recordings which will hopefully lead on to the making of my debut album.
5)When you came in Italy?
I'm really hoping that when I get back from the USA next year I can tour Europe. There are so many amazing places I'd love to play - Germany, France, Spain, Holland, Sweden... and of course Italy! So hopefully it won't be too long before I can pay you guys a visit ;-)
