Motive105

Name, where are you from?

Motive105, West London.

Describe your style (dress sense) in three words?

Dark, Defined, Detailed.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to (and why)?

Drake, 2015, 02 'If you’re reading this its too late' tour. There was something about summer 2016, & drakes album ‘If you’re reading this its too late’ was the soundtrack and energy for that whole summer. For me it was the moment that I realised Drake was in a different air and I felt we was living in his era. A Drake concert in London is always like one big link up but this one felt like a time in my life I can vividly remember.

If you could be on the line up with any two bands/artists in history - who would it be and why?

Jay Z, because in the world of rap you cannot get any bigger than being on the same stage as that man in my opinion. Secondly I would love to go on tour with Kendrick Lamar, I think I could learn so much from that man and his team in so many aspects surrounding the live performance realm.

Which subcultures have influenced you (and why)?

Dancehall/reggae has been a big influence naturally, being Jamaican it got spun in my household all day everyday and growing up Vybz Kartel got spun at every party/block party.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history - who would it be and why?

Would have to be the legend Bob Marley, I have been listening to him since the day I arrived on this planet. Surreal to say out loud but I feel like I know the man through the music, as if he was always in arms reach for a conversation. That being said it would feel righteous to get to know more about where the man was mentally and spiritually… to be in his presence and hear it out of my own ears.

Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite (and why)?

Bush Hall won me over, not only because I’ve been running up and down Uxbridge Road all my life but more so for its architectural history/integrity. Also My headline is at Bush hall so if I was to bank on the best performance I’ve put on… it will definitely be at that venue. Tickets available now!

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music (and why)?

FREE VYBZ KARTEL… FREE WORL BOSSS… This mans music facilitated so many of my first experiences growing up in my community.
