So when you're sat there and you're looking at a platinum disc on your wall, for a song you wrote on your own, it's like this is getting crazy, man. It's all crazy.
I was brought up in a bohemian household where my dad plays guitar and my mom plays piano just because they love it.
All of my music teachers gave up on me one by one because I couldn't read music.
I'm obsessed with American talk shows.
Me and my mom were just watching the charts like, 'Why isn't it stopping?' And now I've got a platinum disc in my bedroom.
At school I was really heavily dyslexic, so I really struggled academically with reading and writing.
All my songs are based on personal experience, and 'Lost Without You' came out fully born.
I was in a choir at school and we were part of the BBC Proms back in around 2002.
I love the acoustic sets. Growing up, me and my dad would always watch those because we loved seeing the songs stripped back.
I'm obsessed with Beyonce. She's just effervescent, I love her.
Selfies are one of those things I generally take but never post. It's more to remember the moment or what I'm doing.
Being signed to a major label was never an option because I knew having the time to find out who you are without pressure from other people is so important.
The thing with 'Lost Without You' is that for a long time I didn't feel like I could share it with people. When it came to releasing it, it was a cliff-diving moment.
I realised, however, that you can't sing when you're playing the violin - or at least I can't - and as that aspect of performing is important to me I shifted to the piano.
Sometimes, when we're on tour, I'll find an empty room or a corner and I'll just sing. It heals something in me, be it some kind of isolation or loneliness. It's really quite beautiful that singing can do that.
I wasn't cool at all when I was younger; no one wanted anything from me.
Inspiring girls to write their stories and play their own instruments is something I'm passionate about, as it's not championed.
I do get star-struck, especially if they're icons like Florence Welch. I met her briefly at a studio and I did not act cool.
I really want to do a cover of Joan Armatrading.
I think, definitely, I was hugely influenced by - obviously like Adele and Florence the Machine. They were my complete idols growing up. But also, there were a lot of influences from my dad, like singer-songwriters of the '70s like Carole King and James Taylor.
