Dermot Kennedy says he's misunderstood as being 'mad serious' due to his moving music but insists he's really a ‘joker’ behind the scenes.
The Dubliner is known for lamenting about love and loss in some of his biggest hits, and says he feels every emotion when he is singing them, just like fans do.
“I really do live in those emotions and I think that is why it works for people listening, they can tell it is sincere, so it is possible to be moved by it,” he said.
