Sweden isn’t generally renowned for its rebellious streak. How did you find growing up different in such a straight place?

We hear you’re popping your London gig cherry in Hoxton. Are your live performances as outrageous as your songs suggest?
No, I’m really not a stage person. I think it feels a bit weird but someday I’ll get over it. I’m {gonna} play it cool in London and then after I’ll get fucked up with a fan.
Love you xx
