Kooks star Luke Pritchard has revealed that he became determined to find success as a musician after receiving harsh words from his music teacher.

The singer admitted that he was spurred on after the tutor claimed he would never make it in the industry.

"I was motivated by revenge," Luke told the Daily Star. "At school my music teacher told me over and over again that I was wasting my time and should try a different profession. I think I'll send him a platinum Kooks album one day."

The band released their second album Konk last month.
