Mike Ragogna: Seeing as you’re both a new artist yourself and a bit of an old soul, what advice do you have for new artists?

Tom Odell: For new artists, I don’t know if I’m massively in a position to say, but I would say that for me, the joy I get from music is the same joy I got when I was writing songs in my bedroom. I would’ve made music regardless of if I was still there now. I think it’s very important to have that. I meet artists occasionally and they ask how I made it. I think if you can just make the most genuinely satisfying music that you personally feel satisfied with and it moves you, that’s all you can do and the rest will come into place.
