My mom used to sell fabric and lace when I was younger. She would bring back these elaborate fabrics from Nigeria. I always enjoyed being around it. However, it wasn't until I started making music that I started taking a vested interest.

I was well brought up, my parents are still together. I lived in a council estate, but I don't anymore; I saw my parents buy a nice house and move me to a nice area.

If people are not listening to you as individuals, it's always good to get together and make a stand for something.

I'm actually going to the gym, working on getting not fatter, just a bit bulkier.

I watched a film called 'Elephant' recently. Its not stylish in the sense of expensive suits and Italian cars, but the styling on every single character is spot on.

Nigeria is like everywhere, really: there are some beautiful places that have been invested in and others that haven’t been.

Music has no race. It appeals to everybody.
