I would consider my diary serves the same purpose as going for a walk or a run. They are all physical ways of clearing a mental landscape. Chet Faker cleardiarylandscape Change image and share on social
I don't start my show at 200%. I like to go in slow, warm up the crowd, and bring them along with me. To hear everyone singing along is so great. Chet Faker bringcrowdgreat Change image and share on social
I think that connection with humans is so important. Sometimes I'll do this monologue and talk to the crowd, like, 'Come on, let's really connect here.' I don't think a lot of people understand it's a two-way exchange. Some people go to a show and are like, 'Yeah, you make me feel.' That's not how it works.

I remember a concert for a visiting girls school, and that was the first time I ever sang - it was always about girls - that was the main thing. But somewhere along the line, it became a cathartic thing. Chet Faker catharticconcertgirl share on social
I came second in a 1,500-metre running race at school. I knew I couldn't have come first, so second was my version of first. Chet Faker knowmetrerace Change image and share on social
I hate fame. There's this assumption that everyone wants it - that by being a musician, I've signed up for it at some point. But personally, what I signed up for is sharing my music. I've always said I'd rather have four No. 10 songs than one No. 1 hit. Chet Faker assumptionfamehate share on social

I like a lot of independent brands - Melbourne's Kloke, Handsom and Neuw Denim, and Bassike in Sydney. It's easier to be proud of what you're wearing if you've met the people behind the brand and there's more of a personal story. Chet Faker bassikebranddenim share on social
An album is like a book or a diary or a snapshot... It just feels so like the end of a chapter when you finish one. Chet Faker albumbookchapter Change image and share on social
I have an addictive personality. I was addicted to computer games... and then all that obsessive nature just piled into music. Chet Faker addictaddictivecomputer Change image and share on social
