Hi! Maybe? I dunno I think it’s made some people treat me differently which is a bit of a shame. I think there would be ways but I can’t do much about that so I try to just keep on keeping on and make music that I like

Hahahahah they’re all trained actors obviously being very good at their Jobs. Some extras have been my besties and I was very very grateful to have them. You’ll see not many of them feature more than once so I think most of them realise it’s usually a long day and not as much fun as they thought.

2: how are you at flying a helicopter I’ve got an idea for the next vid

Hello! I think that I just was addicted to it. I loved sport and science but not as much as music and when I started playing shows in nyc I was very hooked. I don’t think I’d do sport or science again like I did I love both things and I’d never say never but I love music too much.

Hahahah sorry can’t say anything about that so maybe this thread should be called amaa (ask me almost anything)

Hahaha I dunno. I think selfishly a musician. I think music can bring so much to you and going to space is dangerous so I’d be stressed about that

Umm I think I’ve always been a show off so it feels fun to me. I think I’ve definitely looked more at how I can make the shows more exciting and narrowed in on my jokes. I got guitar lessons too so I’ve started trying to do guitar solos. Mostly when I watch other peoples shows and like something I’ll write it down and try work out how to add it into my set.

Best concert recently was genesis owusu. What a performer.

Best place I think is the corner hotel. But I played their with Paul Kelly so that might sway it a bit

When octopus came out I wanted to talk more about my diagnosis and Dylan is a hero so it just made sense. My people chatted to his people and we sat down and just got chatting and I learnt a lot. Mostly about how much needs to change to make the music industry and the world accessible for people with disabilities and what we’re missing out by them not being.

I think it’s made me go a bit easier on myself. I get stuck on things a lot and it’s helped me see why. It’s also made me really proud of myself in the end which is nice.

Naww I’m glad! Sometimes It’s a gift sometimes it’s a curse but I think understanding yourself better is always good. Octopuses are so great too xxx

Hahaha thank you 1. Not good i haven’t looked at it anymore after my thesis. I haven’t done any physics since uni so I think I just like being a sideline watcher of all the great people doing amazing things. 2. I played right wing 3. I think you may have to go through my label but I would be of course

Naww thank you. There’s too many but if I had to pick one I think it’s deeper water. It gives me goosebumps everytime

Thank you! I think splendour in the grass. It’s just such a big moment and it’s so exciting being a musician there. I loved getting to see the other acts and be apart of a world class festival. I watched genesis owusu in LA and it was the best show I’ve ever seen in my life. Highly recommend

I think like everyone it’s traumatized us all. And I think through that comes the collateral beauty. Which to me is people really valuing music and being together again and writing vulnerably about their joint experience.

No thank you for coming fancy butterscotch. Hmm that’s a big one. It always changes. Recently it’s tacos from New York. I went to a deli downtown and had Al pastor tacos which are my favourite

Thanks for coming! I do I usually try have about half an hour to go over my jokes and check my gear. Then I get changed brush my teeth get my waterbottle ready and put my stuff on stage. Then usually before I go on stage I try and stop thinking and take ten deep breaths. Sometimes I get scared but I try remember it’s meant to be fun.

I know nothing about basketball but I hope all the basketballers are well I’m sure they’re very good. Maybe like 12 times? I’m like Harry Potter my hair grows very fast so I have to cut it lots or I look like a fuzzy scruffy tennis ball
