So this is a question I've been wondering for a while, "who is the REAL Dan Banks?"

I sat down with him and had a chat about his passions, love life, and interests. This is what he had to say:

Kass: So, how did you end up being a part of the Blurtit team?

Dan: Well, I graduated from uni in Norwich in 2011, and decided to stay in Norwich after graduating (rather than move back to my hometown of Bedford).

I had a couple of temporary jobs before seeing an ad online looking for "website moderators", and that's kind of how it started. A year later, I've taken on more responsibility, and am now in charge of running the Blurtit community and looking after our social media accounts.

Kass: So what made you choose Norwich over Bedford? What's so bad about Bedford?

Nothings wrong with Bedford, it's a lovely town! I think I'd have found it hard going back home and living with my parents. I was used to the freedom and individuality that being a student involved.

Kass: It sounds like your student lifestyle was pretty wild, what's the craziest thing you did at uni?

Dan: Well, I made quite an elaborate prank-call to one of my lecturers, and that got me into quite a lot of trouble!

Kass: What did you study at Uni?

Dan: International relations and modern history. I wrote my dissertation on the UN's response to the breakup of Yugoslavia.

Kass: Sounds intriguing! So how comes you didn't pursue a career in international relations?

Dan: Well, it's always been more of a hobby or interest, my real passion is music. I've been in a few bands over the past couple of years. The most recent of which was called New Town. You can check us out on SoundCloud here: https://soundcloud.com/newtown-2

Kass: Sounds really cool. What were your main musical influences?

Dan: As New Town? Radiohead. Joy Division. And Arctic Monkeys maybe? Why don't you have a listen and tell me what we sound like?

Kass: I think you sound a bit like The Cure too - one of my favorite bands. So, to wrap up, a question that's been on many peoples' minds is your relationship status?

Dan: I'm not currently seeing anyone.
