Yungblud

I love what Drake does.

People are scared to have a strong opinion because, with social media, almost everyone lives the life of a celebrity.

All my life I've felt quite misunderstood because of my personality.

If people don't like who you are, they aren't meant to be in your life.

Rosa Parks is rock and roll.

The best thing for me is the amount of DMs and people hitting me up every day saying, 'Your music is providing me with answers.' That blows my mind, because that's what Alex Turner and Eminem were for me.

My goal is to reach as many people as possible and inspire them.

My generation is so intelligent.

I would listen to artists like My Chemical Romance, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Blink-182, Paramore... all these bands were so unafraid of being themselves. They talked about their problems and what was going on in their heads. It grabbed and latched on to me, and I felt like I could do that, too.

When you find new genres of music, you take ownership of them.

Oasis were massive for me, because of the attitude and what they represented and how outspoken they were. It felt like they were exactly like me.

We don't realize how much we need something until it's taken away from us.

We are so distracted and focused on what's next, we can fail to see what is actually in front of us.

My personality is energetic, fun, yet slightly psychotic.

From a young age, I was always very transparent, and that's why the kids' mums didn't like me. I would tell you if I didn't like your beans on toast.

I don't want to preach to anyone, because I'm not.

I've always been enthralled with chaos and mayhem musically, and I loved speaking out and challenging stuff, and I thought, why is my music not representing this?

The music I grew up listening to had a message.

The essence of Yungblud is connection. That's all I want to do: connect with people.

I've got ADHD, and my whole life, people thought I was some kind of troublemaker because I had all this energy.

I've been in love a couple times, but you never know if it's truly the one until you meet the right person.

All my life, I've had a fear of being told what to say, so I'm not telling people what to think. I'm encouraging them to say what they think.
