Still yet to reach 20-years of age, Nottingham-born Bugg looks to have the world at his feet already and things are surely only on the up for the young singer/songwriter.
还不到20岁，在英国诺丁堡出生的BUGG仅仅作为一名年轻的歌手、作曲家，看上去已经走向了世界。


Before he explodes into superstardom, we managed to have a chat with him about influences, writing and his upcoming, debut album.
在他成名爆炸前，我们要设法和他聊一聊，关于他的影响，写作和他即将到来的首张专辑。

Are you from quite a musical background, or did you just end up getting involved in it by your own accord?
Yeah, I had a few cousins and uncles that played, my mum and dad used to play. On both sides so yeah, they played instruments and sing and stuff. I had no interest in music until I was about twelve, really; I was just into football; and as soon as I picked the guitar up I just left the football behind and started singing.
你是拥有相当好的家庭音乐背景，还是自己迷上的音乐？
是的，没错，我的几个表兄弟和我的叔叔都玩音乐，我的父母亲过去也一样。他们一边弹奏乐器一边唱歌和原创。我在12岁前对音乐没有兴趣，真的，我沉迷在足球中。直到我12岁真正抛下足球拿起吉他我才开始唱歌。

When did you start listening to Donovan, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix? Have you always being surrounded by these artists?
Well, when I first heard Jimi Hendrix I thought he was brilliant and Donovan, these came around the time I put down the football. But people like Johnny Cash and Dylan, the first time I heard them I didn't really thing anything of them at first and that's just something that's grown on me. The Beatles are probably my favourite band in my eyes; I always liked those even when I didn't have an interest in music.
你什么时候开始听 Donovan, Bob Dylan和Jimi Hendrix的歌的？你总被这些艺术家感染吗？
嗯，当我第一次听到jimi的歌，我认为他的成就是辉煌的。而donovan是我在放下足球后认识的。但是人们喜欢johnny cash和dylan ，我第一次听他们时最初我并没有想太多，只是后来对他们越来越感兴趣。甲壳虫乐队大概是当时我眼中最喜欢的乐队了，在我对音乐没有浓厚兴趣我总是喜欢像这样的乐队。

How did growing up in Nottingham develop your musical tastes? Did it make you more inclined to go on to become a musician?
It's a funny one, I mean, Nottingha***ike most towns really; it has its good bits and bad bits. A lot of the people I hanged with don't really listen to the music that I necessarily like but, yeah, I would say it would've had an impact for some songs like 'Trouble Town' and 'Lightning Bolt'; they're about, not so much my estate like some people assume, there's plenty of other council estates and places just like it and people wanting to get out as well.
在诺丁汉长大对你的音乐熏陶有影响吗？它会让你更加倾向于成为一个音乐家吗？
这很有趣，我是说，诺丁汉就像大部分其他城镇一样，它有它好的和不好的方面。很多和我一起的人，不一定喜欢听我通常爱听的音乐。但是，对没错，这对我还是有影响的。比如说我的歌trouble town和lighting bolt······(这句，英语无能了）

Are you in to any other types of music that might surprise some people?
A bit of everything, really. The old blues stuff from Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson, even a bit of Beethoven, a bit of Mozart is brilliant. It's all good. From that to the Oasis or The Arctic Monkeys, whatever sounds good, man.
你在其它类型的音乐同样会让人吃惊吗？
所有的都有一点点，真的。从古老的蓝调charlie patton到robert johnson，甚至一点点贝多芬、莫扎特的旋律都是很精彩的。都可以。从the oasis到the arctic，听起来都不错。
