Maybe it's just me being lazy but I just don't like describing my music or style or anything, I just like letting people interpret it.
I'm kind of inspired by just all different kinds of music.
David Bowie is kind of the pioneer of glam rock. Not just for music, but just his overall, how he incorporates fashion and other arts into music. And he does a really amazing job about being fearless and that kind of stuff.
I guess it's interesting trying to feel someone's vibe on a track that you've never met before.
I don't really know much about the fashion world. I have a few stylist friends that help me find stuff. So they know all about the vintage fashion world; I just kind of describe to them what I want and they find a lot of it for me.
I'm very particular about everything. That goes along with the artwork, and how it's laid out, and every lyric. So it's pretty much all in my hands, which is crazy to be touring and doing that at the same time.
I really like intimate venues because it feels like everyone in the audience is in on all our inside jokes. We could say things and people will catch them. That couldn't happen at a festival because nobody would catch it. I also like that in a smaller space people can be talking to each other and listening to the music; they don't have to be watching you the whole time.
People have said on blogs - which is kind of where I decide where to describe my style, from other people telling me - so I don't know, people say it's like, "electro-pop with glam and old rock influences." Or it's "indie pop" or whatever that means.
I guess music is just something I've kind of always done. I never really thought too much about it, it was just another way to create, and I did it as a pretty young lad.
There's really not much conscious thought involved when I record. I just kind of record what feels good. I'm not trying to make it sound like anything.
