So how did you find the experience of lockdown yourself?

Me personally, I do like to go out and stuff and obviously it slowed things like that down but I’m a homebody really anyway so it didn’t really affect me that much, I could go in the garden and chill.

A lot of artists got more prolific with their output because they had nothing to do. How did it affect your music? 

In terms of making music, not at all. At the same time though it can kind of kill your inspiration because you’re not doing anything, you’re just sitting down. You have to venture into your mind to be creative and I didn’t really find that too much of a problem but I had a lot of work that I needed to complete so I didn’t have to so much have to make new music, I had to finish what I had. 

Did you find it changed your music at all? With a lot of artists having so much to reflect I find that you can hear this in the music that’s come out since lockdown.

For me personally I don’t think it changed much because my music has always come from a space within myself. Even if I’m making a tune like this new one Bussa Bottle coming out, it’s still a reflection of me. So my music is always coming from that point so it didn’t really make me look into myself any deeper than I already do.

You’re originally from Gloucester but you’ve lived in Bristol for about ten years now.

Ten or twelve years now.

What inspired that move?

Music, everything is music. Gloucester is a nice place in terms of family and things like that but in terms of things going on there’s nothing going on. In Bristol there’s multiple clubs, raves, whatever genre of music you like to go out and hear, those options are here.

How easy was it for you coming from the outside?

Pretty easy as I’ve got family here, I linked up with my cousin Gilly and he took me around and I got to know people and stuff like that and everyone kind of rates me as I’m good at what I do so I got embraced. 

Then I started working with other people, shout out to Koast from Durkle Disco. He’s heavily involved in the bass scene and got me involved doing shows and from that things just started building and I think I’ve pretty much played every club in Bristol that I would have wanted to do.

In terms of getting your music outside of Bristol, how has that been? 

That’s been alright as well, you can’t really go wrong in terms of Spotify and all these things you can put on your ads and check out your stats. I’ll be honest, in terms of my music being listened to outside England is where I get a lot of hits. It depends on the single but I was checking my stats the other day for my single Apocalypse and they seem to love it in one particular city in Ghana.

Really?

Yeah, I get a lot of plays so I had to research the name of the city. They’ve been spinning it a lot over there.

Have you made any connections over there from this?

Not through that, that could have been just anyone there just going out and showing their friends and they’re showing other people but when you check your stats it’s quite incredible to see how you’re getting played everywhere.
