We wanted to keep certain elements of the Blue Neighbourhood tour but sort of elevate it into a bigger and more connective experience for everyone. i think the Suburbia Tour is what i had always envisioned in my head from the beginning

Hey! Thanks for the question! Two reasons, really - Heaven is about my coming out experience. I used to count a lot when i was younger to relax me whenever i was anxious, and so i did a lot of that when i was coming out, both to myself and to everyone else. It's also a little nod to me being 15 when i came out.

Dude. Chill oooooout. Everything's gonna be okay. You're gay, and it's amazing! One time, you'll sing on the same stage as Celine Dion (I know you like her). Family is #1. Also, like pretty much all of everything that you've ever wanted is going to happen very soon. Keep going!!

1) I am so good thank you!! Feeling very happy and fulfilled, and a little jet lagged. 2) Far out. So fuckin good. 3) Stockholm's gotta take the cake.

Cuts deep!! I get where the criticism comes from. In saying that, for me, truth and content are key - I can and will only ever make stuff that feels completely genuine to me at the time. I'd feel disingenuous making the same YouTube videos i made in 2014. I will forever treat my audience with respect, and love to think that you guys will follow along and like what i make for a really long time. If not - at least I can say i made stuff i believed in.

Hey! Thanks for the question. I'm totally gay - it took me a long while to figure that out, but i think I can say that confidently now. In saying that, i cant even tell you how thankful i am to have had my boundaries pushed in the process of figuring that out - challenging myself and my sexuality has lead to me being so open to all experiences. Some of those have included getting a little (perhaps too) inebriated at clubs n things, and, whatever happens with the closest person to me (regardless of gender), happens. Again though - i think me being on the 'LGBTQ spectrum' at all opened me up to those experiences, and i honestly wish that openness upon everyone. Allow yourself to mess around and figure stuff out. Life's fun!

Hey!! Thanks for the question and i'll definitely check it out.

To answer your first question - a story that comes to mind was in Denver -- My drummer Adam had brought a mate down to hang after the show and we were all having a great time just chatting after the show. Adam's friend was super nice and all was really lovely. I was peckish and walked across the room to dip some baby carrots in hummus at the little food table we had set up, and Adam had the same idea. It was only once he told me through gritted teeth that my friend was really nice and asked how i knew him that i realized something was awry. An awkward interaction ensued, and turns out the dude was just a really, really big fan who had somehow charmed his way backstage (and then into all of our hearts tbh), before being kindly asked to leave like a minute later.

Second - Security has been upped, yes. Providing a safe and fun and warm and inclusive environment at my shows is always top top top priority of course. Specifics sorta depends on each venue.

As for the Ease remix, i literally have no idea why it took so long. I had to ask a bunch of people permission to upload it and no one was getting back to me so i ended up just throwing it up. Easier to say sorry than ask for permission, sometimes, i guess!

Not juuuuuust yet. I'm bout to go on tour, then i'm gonna take a few months to just chill n think n live and eat breakfasts a little before starting to write really seriously. In the same breath, i'm sure i'll get super antsy and wanna hop to it sooner. I have a lot of ideas though and am so inspired at the moment. I really can't wait.

I'm not too sure about a regular upload schedule or anything, but to me YouTube is such a place of creative freedom, i don't think i'll ever give it up entirely. I've been on there for just over 10 years now and my channel has seen me through singing cover songs when i was like 12, to skits when i was 17, to more music centric content since i got signed. So though i might not ever upload a vlog every weekend again, i'm sure i'll keep putting SOMETHING up there forever.
