When asked his what he aims to achieve from music he replied, 'My aim in the music business is to be signed to a record label where I am comfortable, receiving a regular source of income and given work that will keep me on my feet at all times. I would hate to be signed to a label that just leaves me on the shelf. I aim to create a different genre of music in the industry, a friendly, welcoming sound. I want people to see that we artists do not all portray false images or walk around with more arsenal than the British and American army combined and that we do have personalities and can socialise with the fans. It is a necessity that you interacts with your supporters regularly because I believe that the more support you have from them, the more they will help you achieve your goals.'
