ZANE: I HAVE HAD A GREAT RESPONSE ACTUALLY, MY FANS ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD, GREAT SUPPORT FROM EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

MISC: WHERE DID THE NAME 'HIGH

TIMES' COME FROM?

ZANE: WELL IT'S GENERALLY ABOUT

MY LIFE AND THE TRACKS ON IT

EXPLAIN ABOUT MY LIFE

MISC: HIGH OR HIGH?

ZANE: BIT OF BOTH (LAUGHS) I HAVEN'T

REALLY GOT TIME DO DRUGS AND TO BE

 HONEST THEY'VE NEVER INTERESTED ME,

 WHEN MY FRIENDS WERE MESSING AROUND

 WITH THEM I JUST CARRIED ON WRITING

MY MUSIC?

MISC: WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE TRACK

ON THE ALBUM?

ZANE: PROBABLY NUMBER 1, IT'S CALLED 'HOW SOON IS NOW?'

IT MEANS THE MOST TO ME ON THE ALBUM, ALTHOUGH I SUPPOSE THEY'RE ALL VERY GOOD AND THEY ALL MEAN A LOT TO ME AND HAVE HELPED ME THROUGH SOME HARD TIMES.

MISC: WHAT IS THE SONG ABOUT?

ZANE: IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE TELLING ME I CAN MAKE IT AND ME WONDERING WHEN I CAN MAKE IT I PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO IT AND IT'S MADE ME VERY EMOTIONAL (LAUGHS, IT WAS ALSO THE SONG THAT GOT ME SIGNED.

MISC: DIDN'T THE RECORD LABEL WALK ON AND SIGN YOU IN YOUR OPENING SONG?

ZANE: (LAUGHS) I WISH THEY DID, THAT’S A NEW RUMOUR ACTUALLY.

MISC: HOW DID YOU GET SIGNED?

ZANE: IT DIDN’T HAPPEN OVER NIGHT I CAN TELL YOU THAT FOR NOTHING. IT TOOK A LOT OF HARD WORK. I USED THE INTERNET WITH SITES LIKE YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK AND TWITTER TO HELP TO PROMOTE MY SELF. I WAS TOURING FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS BEFORE I HAD TO MAKE SACRIFICES LIKE QUITTING UNIVERSITY AND QUITTING A JOB. SOME TIME’S I FELT LIKE GIVING UP BUT MY FAMILY WAS DEEPLY SUPPORTIVE AND MY FANS WERE GREAT.

MISC: SOME DEEP STUFF THEIR ZANE, AND I’M GLAD YOU MADE IT YOU’RE VERY GOOD.

ZANE: (LAUGHS) WHY THANKYOU VERY MUCH MISC.

MISC: ANYWAY WE’VE GOT TO BRING THIS INTERVIEW TO AN END, ANY LAST THOUGHT ON HOW YOU’RE FEELING RIGHT NOW?

ZANE: JUST AMAZING, MY LIFE IS LIKE A DREAM AND I COULDN’T THANK MY FANS ENOUGH, JUST THANKYOU AND THANKYOU FOR INTERVIEWING ME (LAUGHS)

MISC: (LAUGHS) CHEERS ZANE.

ZANE: CHEERS.
