Hey Fez, we really liked that Seraphine video, , tell us about making it: were you traveling Europe in the same denim shirt or were you shot against a green screen?
It was all shot in London. No green screen, we shot 110 locations in 2 days - 110! - it was so heavy. Was full on guerilla style shooting cause we had no permits. So whenever official people weren't looking we pulled out the lights and camera and shot until they looked at us and started talking into their walkie talkies. When they would ask us what we were doing we would just reply “fala portouguese?”
Who’s that girl, she's gawgous? How did you meet her?
That's my girlfriend. To be honest we met online. She lived with a good mate of mine in London for a bit and he put us in touch with each other... boom!
Oh, that's creepy. Anyway, at first listen I thought you were singing about 'surfing' but it's 'Seraphine', what's that?
Its a name, Dylan.
That last video of yours also had just your face singing into the camera. You got nominated for some award for that, right? Are you sticking to the winning formula or just giving your fans what they want?
Yea that vid got a nomination. And no, I'm not sticking to any formula, the whole concept for the video came from the director Peter Hamblin, I just arrived and said, “Ok so what we doing?”, and we shot it like that. Next video we might get super arty and just shoot my foot, or my elbow or something... Deep.
Would you consider yourself either of the following: a handsome man, a sex symbol, a great hunk of spunk?
I would consider myself a man with a beard who is fascinated by squirrels.
How do you keep your neck-beard looking so good?
Yoga.
You kept a pretty straight face after shooting that shot of vodka. Or was it water you big phony?
It was as real as my beard.
You wear a lot of denim and flannel. Are you happy with your wardobe?
I have a phobia for printed, or plain coloured clothes. Denim and flannel keeps me calm, especially on Wednesdays.
What are your essentials?
Pair of jeans, flannel shirt or denim jacket, favourite pair of Puma's, my girl, and roast chicken.
