Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one

I got into music via the competitions; the first time I ever performed was in a kind of rap battle, competing for money.

I think everybody wants to be the best at what they do and for me I was never really there, plus it was in a time that just preceded the insanity of internet promotion around 2005 and 2006. Obviously through the digital revolution things have moved very quickly and a lot of artists got left behind.

There is only one thing that could make me near homicidal. Yeah - this is called My Proper Tea.

While I was rapping I was always involved in youth work - I ran music workshops for teenagers and young offenders all the time and also ran a charity for refugee kids for a time.

I just love the subversion of dialogue in sitcoms, stand-up is monologue and that is entertaining for a lot of people but personally I find it a bit trying, which is a weird thing to say as a stand-up! I love people aping normal conversation and twisting it so it becomes hilarious.

No wonder this circuit failed. It says 'Made in Japan'.
