King Krule at KOKO in Camden.
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
Black Sabbath and Wu-Tang Clan (which technically I’ve done twice).
Which subcultures have influenced you?
It depends how you look at the word subculture, and what it directly means to you, there are subcultures within music that have all had their individual influences on my life but I couldn’t pick one out over the other, be it hip-hop, rap, rock, punk or grime they have all played a role on who I am today with regards to my mindset, views and even the music I make.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
My grandad and grandma, I didn’t really get a chance to get to know them.
Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
O2 Prague - I supported Billie Eilish, 18,000 people... you don’t forget moments like that.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Frank Sinatra, my dad has always played his music since I was a kid... what a voice.
