'It was therapy before I got therapy'
Sam Fender joined Nihal Arthanayake for the latest Headliners episode.
The pair explored Sam鈥檚 journey to success with two number one albums.
Sam compares the process of writing his songs to therapy.
"It was therapy before I got therapy鈥t鈥檚 still therapy鈥t鈥檚 cathartic."
"If I've had a bad day, the best thing I can do is pick up a pen.鈥�
"It was the first sort of healthy outlet I had as a young boy," he continued.
Then, in a slightly less poetic sense, quoted the late James Gandolfini. "As Tony Soprano says, 鈥榠t鈥檚 like taking a dump.鈥�"
The two also got into imposter syndrome, living frugally and remembering your roots.
