I wanted to play football. It was what I did best at school and I'm pretty sporty, so that was the idea. Music was always a hobby, innit. I was more ahead with football.

I'm not romantic at all, ha ha, I need teaching. The closest I ever came was taking a girl out on her birthday and getting her picked up and dropped off at a hotel. The room was all done up, like with flowers and stuff. But that was a struggle for me!

It's not always easy growing up in an inner-city area, but in my music I want to show people that you can turn it into something positive.

I grew up with my older brother listening to hip hop, and Jay-Z was the main person I listened to. When it comes to his word play, he's just out of this world. That's my biggest inspiration when it comes to writing lyrics.

People think I like partying, but I actually don't like going out. I'm a homebody. I like chilling in with friends and playing PlayStation 3 Pro Evolution Soccer.
