"I was obsessed by a track by the Mitchell Brothers called Routine Check. I'm also a big fan of Mike Skinner of The Streets and what he does over records, be it rapping or poetry; it's very similar to Ian Dury’s stuff to me, I'm also a big fan of his, he was the first white British rapper. I’ve always always wanted to be a rapper, I’ve always been jealous of rappers because of how comfy they are and how cool they look, they’ve always got a tracksuit on and trainers and I have to dress up 'cos I'm a popstar... I want to be a rapper but the world won't let me. The only reason I have craved my own niche is because it is not that easy. I love words and will continue to use them. It is bitter sweet about a decade where I formed an opinion, I was wrong."
