Where are you now and what are you doing?
Right now, I’m finishing off my first project which I’m really excited about, and making new music.

First record to send a shiver up your spine?
I don’t have a distinct memory of the first record I heard, because I grew up listening to a lot of music with my parents. I loved artists like Michael Jackson, Avril Lavigne, Boys 2 Men, Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu.

First gig you attended?
The Sugababes when I was under the age of 10, so I  can’t remember it, but after that I went to see Rihanna and I’ll never forget that one.

Most memorable gig?
Probably Body & Soul 2022 so far, because I genuinely had so much fun on stage.

What has been the most ‘pinch me’ moment of your career so far?
Getting booked for festivals I used to pay to go to. That will always be crazy to me.

Most embarrassing thing you’ve done either drunk or sober?
I embarrass myself more when I’m sober to be honest, but one time I waved back at someone who wasn’t waving at me at all.

What shite jobs have you had in the past?
I started working when I was 16, so I’ve had a good few jobs and have many stories!

Last record you bought, borrowed, or blagged?
The last project I downloaded was Kaytramine’s new album, which I’m loving so far.

Who’d be in your dream band line-up?
Pharrell & André 3000 for sure.

Most electrifying musician on the planet?
Monjola.

What song would you have played at your funeral?
‘Vincent’ by James Blake.
