Williams: There aren’t any other artists that I’ve learned from in real life. Besides your dad are there artists you have learned a lot from and if so what lessons stand out? I love Dolly.īaltin: Another aspect of growing up in a successful musical family is there are a lot of musicians around all the time. For example, no one in history has been more in charge of their image than Dolly Parton. I watch the careers of artists in lots of genres and take bits and pieces of their trajectory. I’ve always been fascinated with the creative and business sides of music. He is a world class performer and one of the most versatile artists performing. Though I will say, I assuredly have been blessed to see him perform so much. It’s in my veins and it’s finally made its way to the surface, and now it runs my life. My dad doesn’t play at home, he’s more of a whistle in the car driving down the road-type. Williams: Actually, music wasn’t in my home. What have been the best things for you about growing up around music? They also loved “Weatherman.” It connects with people because we all go through so much in this life, you know?īaltin: Over the years I have interviewed both Lennon sons, Jakob Dylan, coming from music royalty definitely impacts you in a multitude of ways, including understanding the business and having been it around so long. It talks about trying to quit walking down the roads that lead us wrong. You can hurt those closest to your heart and it’s the human condition. Williams: The Belfast crowd was really digging a song of mine called “Can’t Fool Your Own Blood.” It’s about loving people and them lying to your face and how we all do it. What songs of yours have they adopted most strongly? Any that surprised you? I’ve always been keen to European artists like Adele, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, and Lewis, so getting to be here and do my own thing is so dope.īaltin: When you play to any audience they take the songs and make them their own on a nightly basis. The opening night in Belfast was incredible and I did a sing along outside after the show with fans, singing Lewis Capaldi. The city is so inspiring and I’d love more time here.

It’ll be my largest and most extravagant stage as an artist by far. I’m preparing for the London show at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, which is the biggest show of the tour. And inside of that me, there is another me.īaltin: How is he tour overseas with Cam going right now? I won’t be recreating any of my family’s sounds because I have my own. I think people are going to be really surprised one day when they see where I take the legacy and how it has evolved over time.

Putting my own creative twist on the record was really fun. It goes to show how we know what we want to say. I’m sure it was written in less than an hour, easily. Williams: I would say it showcases my dad’s strong suit of writing authentic and simplistic songs.
