James Bay’s 5 most popular quotes
- I love the intimate, single spotlight, troubadour-y quiet, delicate moments. But I also love Springsteen and screaming and shouting.
- I loved pop music as a little kid. Things like the Black Eyed Peas. If it had a catchy chorus, I was into it.
- Growing up in Hitchin was comfortable and easy enough. My parents had some great records – and some not-so-great ones – and that’s where I got introduced to Motown and the Stones and Springsteen.
- I spent two years playing open mic nights in Brighton, and I heard more and more people saying, ‘You should give it a go in London.’
- Being exhausted is all part of the fun. I’m cool with it. I’m not going to wish that it would slow down.
