What word describes you the most and why?

The word that describes me the most would be Goofy [laughs] I am a natural clown. I love pranking and making jokes with my music team. My life long motto is a laugh a day keeps the doctor away unless you have the flu [laughs] but on a serious note banter helps the most when creating music.

hen did you have a key interest in music?

I had a key interest in music since day one. My mum once told me I used to sing random things and phrases before I learned how to speak properly! Church was my first real stage, me and my two sisters used to lead choir.  Music has always been in my life[smile]. It ruins through my veins, it’s my everything.

So, your new album faded is out this January, what influenced your album?

The album faded took me 3 months to write, 1 month to record and 2 months to edit to what I can call it lyrical perfection. What influenced my album? I can say the cliché things like family ect.. but really it was my late-night antics of being young and having fun[Laugh] The songs “wiped” and “for her” was about a night out which where I ended up waking up in a hotel room. Fun times really. The sound and the idea was inspired from church as I like to incorporate that into things. The albums out in January people!

 How was touring with Craig David and Kendrick Lamar?
It was lit!  I enjoyed their company. 20 cities, 2 countries amazing. Craig is so nice; he was like a father figure to me on the road. Craig taught me how to curl my voice. My favourite night was when we were in Liverpool. The crowd knew my name, I felt like a king. Kendrick Lamar is dope he just released his new album “how to pimp a butterfly” we performed most of it throughout the tour. Kendrick and Craig are my real brothers. I am privilege to work and tour with artist now friends.

If you could perform with any artist who would it be and why? 
This is a difficult question, there’s so many people to choose from but I would say Michael Jackson because who wouldn’t want to sing with the king of pop. Michs music is lit and his concerts are too good. Imagine the king of pop meets me the king of hip hop quite dope.

How is the music scene in east London?

The East scene is changing and becoming better. There are so many new artist getting signed this year and there are so many undercover artists too. I came from the East scene and I’m proud of it! Becoming well known is hard but once you get some fame that’s when your career fully starts. Look at Kano he is doing well for himself and he grew up there so anything can happen really.
