What inspired you to first start making music? And how did you come to be in your current incarnation? Or if you prefer, a brief bio about you.
Growing up in Nottingham UK grime is a popular genre so during school times me and my friends were into it which made me get fruity loops studio on my laptop at the time and I started producing grime beats then after a while I starting writing bars and I kept developing my style to how it is now from the influences of all the music I was listening too which was a mixture of UK and US.
Provide us with some info about your latest release…
My latest release is called BLOW, I caught a vibe with my friend ADP in his London studio, The beat was playing when I walked in and I had to try something on it! The song is about growing up and overcoming people that hate on you and basically to just not give a fuck about them lol
Which ones would you consider your main influences both music-wise & non-music-wise?
When I was younger I used to watch Michael Jackson a lot, his music and stage Presence is fire but also I got influence from the music my mum and dad were playing either in the house or the car haha, Young thug and Future have a big influence in the music I do when I first heard there vibes it inspired me to try a melodic style and I kept on working from there also Post Malone , Travis Scott and many others.
In what way does your sound differ from the rest genre-related artists/bands and why should we listen to your music? In other words, how would you describe your sound?
I feel like many people from different audiences can appreciate my music because it’s not just one style it has a mixture of Pop, trap and R&B vibes, you should listen to it to decide if you like it or not lol

Do you prefer studio or performing live and why?
I like studio and performing live equally in different ways .. in studio I get to create and it’s the best feeling when you turn an idea in your head into a real song, then performing the song and bringing the vibe to a stage to see the people’s reactions inspires me to keep making music every time
Is there any funny-unique story you would like to share with us, always in relation to your music ‘career’?
Once when I was performing half way through my song The batteries fell out of my in ears so I had to start miming until the end & pretend everything was okay ( tip make sure the battery pack has tape over the back ♂ LOL )
Which track of your own would you point out as the most unique and why?
Personally I feel like “inferno” is my most unique song the hook melody is very unique and catchy also I like how the subject I’m speaking on in the verses has depth and emotion to it but it’s on an uptempo beat so it’s like 2 opposites.. you can relate to it and turn up to it at the same time haha
Would you like to share with our readers your future plans?
I will be dropping my first EP which will be called The Hexagon Project.. A hexagon has 6 sides so there will be 6 tracks and it will show 6 sides of me musically so hopefully people from all different audiences can appreciate the song
