For those not familiar with your sound, how would you describe it?
This is a great question, I would describe my sound as Trap Dancehall from the London streets, but I’m also aware, I am a Friday night/ Monday morning artist meaning supporters will play my music on route to the club and in the club. Whilst Monday mornings my music will be used as coffee / motivation to work or the gym.
What was the inspiration behind collaborating with Sincerely Keane for this particular track?
The inspiration for collaborating with Sincerely Keane is I believe he is the next one truly, I cannot see ANY limitations with his music he is highly skilled, diverse and has all the characteristics of a great rapper. I cannot speak about him any more highly, I am excited for the world to see what I can see.
Where do you envision this track being played?
I can see the song being played in arenas due to how catchy and vibey the song is, it’s an anthem style song, so I can see it being played everywhere really.
Which three albums have influenced you the most creatively?
The three albums that have influenced me creatively are Missy Elliott – Da Real World, Nas – I am and Mavado – Gangsta for LifeÂ
What has been your most memorable performance so far?
My most memorable performance would be from 333 an old grime rave to more recently A Perth show I was booked for at Hackney Wick.
Studio work and music creation, or performing and interacting with a live audience, which do you prefer?
Between music creation and interacting with a live audience, this is one of the most difficult questions ever because a live audience validates what you have been doing in the studio so I have to say both.
Tell us about any upcoming shows or releases you have in the pipeline.
Upcoming shows and releases are, I am working on my headline show so I am just building up the demand so the que goes around the building. In terms of releases I have an absolute monster with Yung Saber ready and loads more trap dancehall in my arsenal just watch and see I can show you better than I can tell you.
