So then, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Basically anything with elements of soul and/or funk. Vocally I’ve gotten comments and links to Kanye or recently Kendrick, but that’s probably because they’re my biggest influences as artists.
What do you love about making music?
For me music is a therapy, an expression. It’s how I get out every thought and emotion I have.
What do you hate about the music industry?
The misunderstanding of what an artist is there for. Yes, we entertain, but ultimately music should be a personal thing. Like I mentioned, an expression. One of the worst things I think an artist can go through is being creatively boxed in. Falling to expectations of what we think other people, the industry, our supporters want from us, rather than simply enjoying what we love.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Bob Marley. I think Bob would be able to give some pretty damn good advice on the approach to making music. Also, he’s not dead, but Quincy Jones. I shouldn’t even have to explain why.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
They need to practise and prepare their very best d-floor moves. That is all. The rest will be discovered at the show.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
I’ve got my debut album, With The People, to hand over to lovely people who may not have the album already.
