“I left England as a kid, but this country runs through everything I’ve made. The UK artists I’ve worked with – their brilliance and refusal to compromise – shaped not just my work but how I understand what music should do. And more than anything, it’s the crowds here who’ve sustained and showed up for me.
“The fans, the festival crowds, the record buyers and streamers – the love has always been overwhelming. I’m beyond grateful for all of it.”
