Eventually, my dad bought me a guitar for Christmas, and then I just went from there, man. I bought a drum kit a few years later and bought a bass, started producing, started singing.

My dad took me to loads of concerts when I was growing up.

I really am very grateful for the support from everyone in Scotland.

There's something about the pipes that just connects with Scots, they go mental for it - it's in our DNA somehow.

Winning the Brit award - I really didn't expect to win, and I was just there for the party, but then I actually won it! I'll never forget that moment and the weeks leading up to it.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist and sometimes need someone to tell me to stop.

I've got such close ties to both... Glasgow with all my family, then Manchester with all my mates that I grew up with. So my heart is definitely in both.

I'm a huge fan of Paolo Nutini, I'm so in love with his songs and his voice.

It was awesome growing up listening to Oasis and Paolo Nutini, but I also loved growing up listening to Ray Charles and Muddy Waters.

I've always loved good music; I'm not really fussed where it comes from.

Scottish crowds are always a good laugh: they never take life too seriously, and there's always great banter.

It's always just nice to see your hard work paying off.

I stay round at gran's when I come up to visit.

I tried to take my gran to the Brits, but she's 81, and I don't know if she was up for making the whole journey all that way for one night anyway.

I have received so many messages from people all over the world who've connected with 'Leave A Light On' and shared their own story of struggles and the people who've helped them.

As soon as I'm in the studio for too long, I wanna be out on tour.

Each song is a little snippet of my life - and I got to work with Rudimental!

As a 27-year-old, I'm like, 'everything is hard for me. Being young is so difficult.'

Sam Smith knew who I was!
