"I’d run home from school blasting noughties rap in my iPod Classic through Eastleigh backstreets to my Mum's piano, to write songs I just couldn't find a voice for.
Until a decade later I came home for the pandemic, and found two.
My rapper alter-ego MC Beastly - a comic exaggeration of that smalltown teenager - was a viral hit, and I paired it with Cerulean pop ballads for two innovative divided concept-albums for my local audience: garnering Southern Daily Echo & BBC Radio spots, and Railway Inn & Silverlake Stadium shows.
Now I'm a single artist, on a mission to connect - independently of Big Music/Social - with everyone who loves the English language.
Imma sing a song, write a rap.
Sing a song, write a rap. Uhh.."
