How
long have you been MCing?I
have been MC'ing for just
over 4 years. DJ'ing for nearly
a year.
How
did you get started?
I got into the music scene
through friends @ school and
through my older family members
who influenced me. I started
at a really young age to write
short songs, but for some
reason could never finish
them! From around 15 I knew
I wanted to do something in
the music scene. I wanted
to DJ however the mic was
cheaper than the decks. The
lyrics started and continued
to flow. I never took the
MC'ing seriously until I was
asked to go on a north London
radio station. I was brought
a pair of decks (no not Technics
1210's unfortunately!), in
December 2000, and started
to spin my vinyl.
Who
was your inspiration/s?
My inspirations vary from
family and friends to those
musical artists already on
the scene. Also encouragement
from people on the radio station
from live callings.
What
would you be doing if you
weren't a MC? Well
erm, I dunno! Maybe journalism,
or owning a music shop. I'm
multi-talented; it's just
too hard to say!.
What
do you think about the commercialisation
of UK Garage? It
was garage from 92-95 that
had an impact on me, which
compared to know is well different.
I'm happy for those people
making their dough in commercialisation,
as long as they don't forget
the roots of the music. I
don't mind commercialisation
if its done in the proper
manner.
What
other sort of music are you
into? I'm
an urban lady, a street chick.
I like R'n'B, Soul, Jungle,
D'n'B, Ragga and much more.
FavouriteFavourite
Garage Tune of all time?
Never Gonna Let you go - Tina
Moore - Dub Mix) & Industry
Standard - Vol 1 .
Favourite
Garage Tune at the moment?
So many but probably: It ain't
enough - Sticky Remix - Public
Demand.
Any
advice for up and coming MCs?
Be careful, the world is getter
tougher, so your lyrics better
me rougher. For the DJ on
the Decks, play the tunes
to make mans flex. Oh and
be original.
