This week he took a moment to chat with Salt 106.5’s Jordana.

What makes you smile?

“I enjoy writing music, I enjoy going to different places, eating food with friends, playing soccer – yeah it makes me smile,” he said.

And, as a true local, he gave the Brisbane Roars a shout out.

“I love Brisbane Roar for the A-league and I’m into Milan.”

Coming from the UK, Jordana has a great appreciation for someone who actually understands soccer (or is it football?).

“I love Brisbane Roar for the A-league.”

Who would you like to collab with?

“I’ve honestly been listening to a lot of Dua Lipa lately, she’s fantastic,” he said of the English Albanian singer songwriter.

Adding, “I’d love to collaborate with someone from a long time ago, someone from the disco world.

“Even the Beach Boys.. I think would be really cool.”
