03Interview

Describe your style in three words?

Structured, layered and masculine

The first track you played on repeat? And where did you play it?

David Bowie - Space Oddity

At home, on my dad’s record player.

A song from your favourite album? And what does this track mean to you?

Debbie Harry - Call Me

Reckless and free!

A song from your most memorable gig?

PJ Harvey - Chain Of Keys

We were at a festival and the whole day was dark and grey, as soon as PJ Harvey appeared, the skies opened up.

A song that always gets you up and dancing?

Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music

I can’t choose only one! Rolling Stones, Debbie Harry, 70’s funk for sure!

A new song you're listening to? Why do you like this artist?

Alex Cameron - Happy Ending

I love his dance moves and the trumpet in the background.

Best song to turn up loud? And why?

Debbie Harry - Heart Of Glass (Live Broadcast 1991)

Again, there are so many! For a big night out I would turn up Debbie Harry!

A song that defines the teenage you? And the memories it evokes?

The Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun

Time spent at home with family. Sunday lunch and then some classic records from the 70’s, including The Animals, Beatles and Beach boys.

An anthemic song? Why does it get your pulse racing?

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

The build up, the melody, the instruments used to create the song.

Best song to end an all-nighter?

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain

It makes me feel relaxed listening to this specific song.
