Paolo Nutini has revealed that if he had to use a stage name, it would have been Frankie Vaseline.

The singer admitted it grinds his gears when fans think he's using an alias for his life as a musician.

Speaking to GQ he said: "A lot of people say, 'Come on, what's your real name?' But if I had a stage name it would be 'Johnny Moped' or 'Frankie Vaseline'. Not Paolo Nutini."

After coming back to the music scene successfully with new album 'Caustic Love', Paolo explained why he took the break.

"[It] was really for the music, in that I wasn't too sure what I was writing about. I really needed to experience things to write."

He also commented about collaborations and his hopes of working with Pharrell Williams.

"He's the man with the Midas touch. I don't think it is as easy as just saying, 'Hey Pharrell, let's do this!'

"But I think he seems to be making more and more music. He seems a busy man just now but who knows maybe I'll bump into him. You never know."
