Also got to shout out my brothers in Hip-Hop, Stone Circle.
I work closely with a range of producers in getting my music where I want it to be:
The Silence - who produced most of my debut album 'Simplicity of Mind'
Infinite Potential,
Sir Prestige,
Dr Speed,
9 Lives, and
Blahzay

Influences: Anything that has an audible frequency!In my genre I'm a fan of other UK hip-hop artists such as Roots Manuva, Blak Twang, Sway and Kano. It's all about supporting homegrown talent and I'm always listening out for new artists. I'm feeling Plan B right now, fresh you get me.I'm into the more conscious side of US hip-hop such as artists like Common and Talib Queli. The negative message of a lot of US hip-hop really frustrates me, but boy, I'm not hear to preach. Each to their own.My style of writing can vary from very 3rd person role play type stuff to very upfront witty punch line rap. I developed the more abstract style quite naturally and I'm sometimes compared to Common in this respect. Flattering! The more commercial stuff I write is still me, just the more light hearted side.I'm into rock. house (especially electro and minimal tech), r'n'b, breakbeat, drum 'n' bass, and of course hip-hop.My favourite artsits include Busta Rhymes, The Roots, Slum Village, Talib Queli, Roots Manuva, Missy, Muse, The Killers, Cold Play, Bloc Party, Zutons, Maximo Park, Terry Walker, Brandy, Amy Winehouse, Dwele, Music Soul Child, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Angie Stone, India Arie, Mark Knight, Roman Flugel, Ricardo Villalobos, James Holden, Sven Vath, Booka Shade, the list goeas on.Apart from my musical influences, I'm into fashion and that reflects in my style. I've worked in fashion retail for a couple of years and most people expect me to be a singer not a rapper! For me, my style is part of who I am and distinguishes me from most hip-hop artists.
That's Just Me
