03Interview

Name, where are you from?
seigfried komidashi, North West London born, Yoruba boy.

Describe your style in three words?
Lo-vis hi-vis post-up-nd-cotchwear.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
JPEGMAFIA at Scala. The energy was electric! the whole downstairs was a moshpit and crowdsurfing to 'Curb Stomp' tripping was an absolute madness.

If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
Solange and Alice Coltrane. Imagine this show in the middle of the Peak District with a full orchestra and dancers on the summer solstice. sh*t would hit different.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
People telling their own stories, the sun, moon and stars, sound, everything.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
John Coltrane for sure. Being in his presence and having the opportunity to listen and learn from one of the most beautiful souls to roam the earth would be incredible.

Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
Going to Best Kept Secret festival in Tilburg. We got to camp by the beach in a safari park and watch the acts across the water rolling out of the tent each morning. The energy was insane and the location, people and acts were incredible, everything was beautiful out there!

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Betty Davis! Unforgivably slept on.
