It was a relief to be able to do my own band, because I was very responsible for all this amazing music I didn't want to mess up before.

One interviewer asked me: 'How do you feel that you've betrayed your father?' That wasn't really very cool.

My dad used to say to me, 'You look more like me than I do.'

I did rebel. I was the rebel in my family, because my dad wanted me to go and just travel with him.

The music I want to hear in my head sounds somewhere between Jimi Hendrix and Massive Attack. It's not really like my dad, but there will always be similarities because we have the same vocal cords, and I learnt the guitar the way he taught me.

I don't really plan to be a pop star I just want to be able to make music without the whole My Dad thing hanging over me, which everyone in my position goes through.

You can' t help being a musician because you've grown up with music, yet being one means being compared to your dad and being slated for it. But I really don't have the ambitions of most people going into the industry.

'Keep your head down at school.' Those are sage words from my dad. They kept me in check for years.

Playing music has always felt very natural. You know, you do try to do other things, and you do learn lessons that way, but, eventually - well... if your dad is a plumber, you become a plumber. It's the family business, and I felt like I was taking over the family business.

I never really saw my dad around when the Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing. But he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of left me to my own devices.
