"I used to DJ back in the day, when I was like 15/16, way before I got into the band. I used to DJ on vinyls and I used to play drum and bass music, I did that for two or three years. I’ve always kinda been into dance music. I have a real eclectic music taste,  I like rock, indie, dance music. I wasn’t ever really interested in pop music until I got into the band. That’s when I auditioned for it – even then I didn’t really know what I was auditioning for, and then it just became apparent as the auditions went down that it was for a boyband, which I was a bit like, “oh, not sure how I feel about that!”." da un'intervista del 2015 per Celeb Mix di Katrina Rees.
