Jack Penate says he can't wait to get back into the studio even though he hasn't got any idea what he's working on next.

The 25-year-old has got studio time booked in as he wants to keep the momentum going and bring out some new music really soon.

He told Newsbeat: "I'm writing at the moment. That's the exciting bit. I'm not sure.

"I'm listening to loads of incredible music so I'll probably take influence from a lot of that stuff."

He describes his strongest musical influence at the moment as Steve Reich which he dubs "minimalist orchestral music".

He said: "It's really beautiful and one of those things that my friend said, 'You should check this record out'. I hadn't heard of him, didn't know what it was and I started listening and for some reason it fit with the way I was feeling.

"I wouldn't mind doing something around that, really rhythmic and repetitive - this is what I'm thinking but I haven't written anything yet."

Following festival performances at Reading and Leeds he's keen to get back to writing but isn't sure what format any release will take.

"I don't know if it's albums, I think just music - however that is, whether it's an album, whether it's an EP, whether it's just a song.

"I think the idea of album artists - I don't know if it's what the world is any more.

"I want to obviously release albums but I like the idea of just releasing music."

Jack admits that the past year has been great for him and he's excited that music fans like his work.

He says he's much more laid back about things now and wants to focus on making music.

"I used to be very nervous about things, I don't know if I can be bothered any more. I just want to release music that people who like it love it," he said.

"I can't be bothered to concentrate on the music business or anything like that, it's not really about that. Money's not really a concern for me. I'm not really focused in that way any more."
