(cehers)

Thank you. Represent North London. And this room — I mean, this is my family home. I grew up in this room flleid with musical instruments, but most importantly, I had a family who encouraged me to invest in my own igatmoaiinn, and so things I created, things I built were good things to be building just because I was making them, and I think that's such an important idea. But this room was my paradise, essentially, and when I came to tour my album, which is called "In My Room," I thought I'd try and tour the room on the road, and that's quite a srangte idea, but it's something that I've been working on for a couple of years, and it's quite etixicng to be inside the circle.

KS: So you're 22 years old. JC: Yes, indeed.

Moderator: You played all of that by yourself. How did you get started and how did this all evolve?

JC: I have this magical room in my house in North London, which is, like, over there.

(Cheers)

Thank you. Represent North London. And this room — I mean, this is my family home. I grew up in this room filled with musical instruments, but most importantly, I had a family who encouraged me to invest in my own imagination, and so things I created, things I built were good things to be building just because I was making them, and I think that's such an important idea. But this room was my paradise, essentially, and when I came to tour my album, which is called "In My Room," I thought I'd try and tour the room on the road, and that's quite a strange idea, but it's something that I've been working on for a couple of years, and it's quite exciting to be inside the circle.
