Q&A –
What made you want to enter ‘Freestyle from the
Youth’? – As last month’s
winner of ‘Freestyle from the Youth’ got signed to a label after UK FUSION
featured him in the magazine. I knew I had to send off my freestyle to help me
get the break I’ve been waiting for. Even if I didn’t win, at least I tried,
you know what I mean.
How long have you been interested in having a
career in the music industry?
"I’ve loved music ever since I was young. R&B, hip hop, even a bit of soul
sometimes. Only a few years ago, I decided to dedicate my life in music. Also a
lot my family members and friends started to encourage me and made me release I
was finally talented in something, at last! I started to write tracks and
create mixtapes in my school music studio at lunch times as well. Even though I
was missing out on school lunch, I really enjoyed putting together different
sounds and beats with my raps."
Who inspires you?
“All sorts of artist’s – but if I had to pick one person in particular, it
would probably by Stormzy. ‘Cuz like he’s gone proper big now, like worldwide!
He’s putting Grime on the map. That’s how successful I want to become.”
What’s your music like?
"Honest and close to my heart. Every word I say it real. This causes me to be so passionate about the music I create - because its my experience, that i hope others appreciate and listen to."
What does your family think of your sudden move to
London?
"At first my
parents were unsure and were scared of me moving to a big city, all alone - now
they see me being successful and the opportunities I’ve now have had – they are
extremely proud and happy."
Why Grime?
“I
have lots of brothers – so they played grime a lot which made me know a lot
about it and made me love it.”
How important do you think it is for females to be
noticed more within the Grime industry?
"I think it’s extremely important as its very male dominated – like by 80%.
There is a small number of women that are within Grime but still they are not
noticed enough. I loved to be able to be noticed as much as males do in Grime
and to encourage other young females to be brave enough to go into Grime."
What was your reaction when you received the call
that you won this competition?
"I couldn’t believe. Like I was in absolute
shock that I actually won. Also, I was super excited – still excited, because
by winning this competition is another step into my career. I just couldn’t
believe – I still can’t believe it now."
How do you promote your music? Social media,
YouTube, through friends?
"yeah as my main audience are young, I promote my music through social media, as this is what people my age usually go on. So, this makes my music to be heard."
