Tom Scott

And it probably sort of rings a bit truer to my influences.

I listen to a lot of Fat Freddy's drop and Troy Kingy and Kiwi artists and a little bit of Tom Scott for those who like a bit of Kiwi rap.

And so, yeah, I've stepped into the studio with our producer Sam Johnson down in the coast in Ōkura and worked on this album since April.

It's taken 12 months.

That's the first track of...

Three Singles, that's a song, I actually wrote that about a time when I was a sheep shearer down in the deep south.

I'd just finished main shear and packed up and we had our goodbye beers and whatnot and I stopped in and shored a few sheep with the team and filled the pens and then shot through, had breakfast at the dairy and then packed the truck and headed north on the mission home and that song sort of alludes to and I'm hugely inspired by guys like Tom Scott from Homebrew.

He's a massive influence of mine.

Episode 9, Avondale Bowling Club.

Tom Scott conducted an interview in 2012 with a rapper who is still shaping the face of rap and hip-hop.

Who is that rapper? This is a big name, fellas.

Oh, man.

Brad had the hives, the hives forever, forever the hives.

Brian had Pup, who will look after the dogs.

I also had Tom Scott's Anitia.

And Brad also had Turnstile, Never Enough.
