Maidstone musician Fred Clark has been talking gigging, his musical influences and the meaning within his music with KMTV.

Acoustic singer and songwriter Fred also performed his latest single, taken from the album Eternal Sun, on KMTV.

Fred, who has performed some 750 gigs over the last 10 years, described his music as "earth-influenced, upbeat, emotive acoustic pop" when he appeared and played out the show.

He said he started out as a teenager, adding: "From then on, I set a path on gigging, gigging, gigging and I haven't looked back since."

He cited some of his musical influences as Newton Faulkner, Ed Sheeran and Jack Johnson.

Speaking to presenter Louisa Britton, Fred said of his single Call It Home, which he performed: "It is a song about finding where you belong and finding someone or something which makes you feel at home."
