Overview
PATRICK WOLF has revealed that he feels more secure as an artist since parting ways from his record label.
The singer took a gamble and left Universal and instead chose to raise £100,000 through his website to fund his new album.
And he said the risky decision has paid off.
Speaking to The Times, he said: "People took a big leap of faith and I ended up with more than the marketing budget on a major.
"And I've got no one coming in and telling me, 'Patrick, this is the market right now, La Roux are at No 4; can you do something a bit more like Erasure?'
"I'm not having the conversations I did two years ago and which drove me mad. It's why I've still got a BlackBerry this month, because I used to just throw it at people."
Wolf will play a one-off live show in London on November 15.
