Conor Maynard

I want to be the first Conor Maynard. I think I want to have a successful career that is unique in its own way. ”

My parents listened to a lot of music when I was really little. They used to listen to people like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and I used to be really into that. ”

I met Ne-Yo in London. I sang for him and he said, 'I want to sign you.' It was amazing - it meant my name was buzzing around the industry and I got to meet lots of different labels. ”

I think I kind of want to get to a point of being as successful as possible in a way that's unique to me. ”

When I was 13, I remember crying on my mum's shoulder when my first girlfriend dumped me via MSN Messenger. That was cold. ”

I wouldn't mind being a bit taller. ”

YouTube is an amazing platform for young musicians - although it's harder to get noticed now that everyone is on it. ”

I don't get it when girls say 'I'm fine' but don't mean it. ”

I am my own audience. I always picture me and my mates and think, 'What would we enjoy listening to?' ”

I had piano lessons when I was younger, but I quit because I didn't want to sit and learn the scales. ”
