I'm not really in any competition with anyone, I'm not in any race.
I had received some minor indie label interest when I was 14 after I was in a schools music competition thing in NZ called 'Rockquest', but I knew it wasn't the right time and that I wasn't good enough and needed to concentrate on school.

I've always been a big thinker that the more international competition that we create through sports the better relationships we'll have with countries.
