James Morrison chats to I Like Music

ILM: You're 21 but I expect you've learned a lot on your journey so far. What's your advice to young musicians, just starting out?

JAMES: To keep playing as much you can and write as much as you can. Learn other people's songs, but you've got to find your own style. As long as you've got true passion for it and you work hard and you're prepared for any opportunity that comes your way, then that's all you can do. It's weird because I've been so lucky, I've worked hard but I've been lucky as well. I think If you want to get a deal, it's about meeting the right people at the right time, but you've got to be prepared for it.

If you're just starting out to be singer/songwriters, do it because you enjoy it, don't do it for any other reason. Do it because you enjoy it and that will get you further than if you think you want to be famous. You've got to do it because it makes you feel good and makes you feel passion or whatever.
