Junior

Name, where are you from? 
I'm Junior and I live in London.

What do you do? 
I spend my time immersed in the arts. From photography and modelling to drawing portraits and customising clothing.

Describe your style in three words? 
Comfortable, accessible, vintage.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
I have been to all of Troye Sivan’s London tours but one of my favourites has to be his Bloom tour. I cried and felt so loved during that concert – 'The Good Side' was the track that highlighted my night the most.

If you could put any three bands in history on a lineup?
Queen. Who doesn’t love a good Queen song with Freddie's command over the audience? It gives you a chance to let loose and scream the lyrics where everyone is joining it. ABBA. 'Dancing Queen' makes me feel extremely nostalgic, a lot of people are rediscovering ABBA and this makes me so incredibly happy. Coldplay. 'Yellow' is just a song that touches my heart, the pure love that comes from Coldplay's music is so warming. I would love to see them in concert someday.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
I would have to say that the LGBTQ+ culture has definitely had a major influence in my life – this is a community that I feel comfortable to be surrounded by as it consists of a large array of individuality and self-expression from so many people from different walks of life.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
David Bowie – he had such an interesting outlook on the world and didn’t follow any “rules” of how people thought music should be created.

Where is your favourite independent venue?
The Vauxhall Tavern is a venue that I’ve visited many times – all though it is small you forget and just truly enjoy yourself.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Dolly Parton – this amazing woman donates so much money and time to causes but so many people are unaware of the greatness that she has put into the world.
