I'm kind of unlucky in love and I have, for some reason, always fallen for the straight guy.
If you're real, you've never got anything to hide away from. You're not trying to fake anything, you're not trying to have this other persona - you're just yourself. And if I could be myself for as long as possible, I will.
'No Matter What' is, without question, the most personal song I have ever written and the one I am most proud of.
I've been a huge fan of Adele, Sam Smith, and Ed Sheeran, and those amazing artists draw inspiration from their present and past experiences; they write songs from their heart.
I purposely didn't change the pronouns in 'Dancing On My Own' so that it was from a gay man's perspective.
I'm single, which is good because I can concentrate the hell out of my performances. At some point, I'm going to want to find someone to chill out with at the end of the night and talk about things.
I am doing something I love, travelling the world, meeting fans, feeling confident, and I am no longer restricted by my sexuality.
Song writing has been a lifeline for me.
'Britain's Got Talent' just gave me that platform that I needed to share that with the world and be recognized, and now I'm able to travel the world and sing my music in places I never thought I'd visit - Dubai, Mexico, Brazil, so many different places.
I just wanted to sing, to get my voice heard. I knew I had to do everything possible to stay in the industry.
I've used songwriting as a tool, I've used it as a way of being able to talk about how I feel.
I remember learning as a kid that love meant loneliness and confusion.
I have worked with a lot of people, all very different creatives, helping me hone my craft and discover myself as an artist and the record I want to make. It's such an amazing process seeing and hearing the tracks that people could eventually be listening to on my debut album!
Just celebrate who you are and be happy with you are. Take all the ups and downs together, as you're only human.
I'd like to think I'm a versatile artist without straying too far from who I am.
I had to be honest in my songwriting for it to be where it is, and it's always scary wondering if anyone will connect with that.
Two gay guys doing a beautiful duet - I think it would just be so powerful, you know.
I'd gone through life being obsessed about my sexuality. People would ask about relationships, girlfriends, you start referring to people as 'they' so there's no judgment and you can be ambiguous. People around me knew, but I still struggled with talking about it openly.
I started to feel songwriting was pulling different pieces of my heart out - the more I started writing, the more there was honesty.
I was suppressed for many years. From the outside, you'd think I had a very normal life.
