When I first started writing lyrics and stuff, I was writing it to garage, and obviously garage kind of progressed to grime.

Obviously I've got to work hard to have my own label, but it all benefits me in a different kind of way. I can say "No," and nobody's going to be pissed off or breathe down my neck. I can draw the line and take breaks when I want to. I try not to. And getting to develop other artists is something I've always wanted to do.

I'll have ideas in my head of what I want to say, but I need a beat to inspire me. So I would just say something as simple as, "Can you try something at 103 BPM with a reversed hi-hat and use an electric piano?" And then it just grows from that.

I use the Internet a lot. I don't necessarily constantly communicate with my fans or whatever, but it would be hard to distance myself. I just couldn't do it. It's like not having a phone.

I never really was a grime artist. I'm just an artist.

I've never really been a part of anything but my own project.
