What’s a measure of success?

“I think the whole concept of success is a bit vague because I don’t really believe in success,” EERA says. “I feel like ‘successful’ can be anything from you writing your own songs in your room to you doing a support tour, sleeping on someone’s floor to you being on a tour bus supporting arenas. It depends on how you look at it.

“So for me, I don’t really feel my breakthrough point has happened yet. When I hit 30 I had to ask myself ‘why do I do this?’ It’s very selfish what I’m doing, I just do it to write my own songs.

“This tour [with Public Service Broadcasting] now has been fantastic, I’m now at a place where I get an insight into quite comfortable touring. It’s quite funny talking to the lads and they’re like ‘of course you get a hotel room!’ I’m still not used to that concept.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever get to a point where I’m like, ‘here it is, this is it – I’ve got it’. I’ve also come to terms with the fact my music is not Beyoncé. The music that I do will not be for a person in that world and I’ve accepted that. It’s good to have accepted that.

“Of course it would be nice to play in a venue where you have 1000 people looking at me and singing the lyrics back. I mean that would be amazing and maybe one day that will happen and I hope it does.”
