You’ve just smashed a set, what song do you walk off to?
No brainer... this has to be my recent holiday anthem - Problem Child, Jus Jay King, Nelieux - Holiday
You’ve just won the lottery, what tune are you using to celebrate?
Sonique - It Feels So Good - is a big tune that caught my interest in the electronic dance music scene from a young age.
It’s the beginning of a party, what song are you playing to get the party started?
Now this introduction track can depend on the type of party, but to play it safe for a neutral crowd... I'll go for Donell Jones Feat. Lisa Left Eye Lopez - U Know What's Up.
You’re on a desert island and have to listen to one song on repeat until you’re rescued, what track are you choosing?
Sade - No Ordinary Love. The varying journeys this song takes me on allow room for escapism from the present for me.
What song calms you down after a stressful day?
Sade - Soldier Of Love. I appreciate the composition and instrument performance on this track which brings me joy and relaxation.
At gunpoint what song could you recite word for word?
I'm not great with lyrics so I don't know for me at this point lol ... I'd give Meek Mill - Dangerous Feat. Jeremih & PnB Rock my best shot though.
You’re in danger and can only use music to get someone’s attention, what song are you using?
Right now Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us is one of the best tracks of this year so far, so I can guarantee getting some kind of attention to get me out of danger with this diss record.
What is the first song that comes to mind when feeling nostalgic?
Alexander O'Neal & Cherelle - Never Knew Love Like This. I used to hear from my Dad playing Alexander O'Neal's album and this track was one of my favourites.
You’re left stranded in the desert with an iPod that has one song on it of your choice. What would that song be?
Ezra Collective - Ego Killah. I'm learning to accept things for what they are and embracing change.
What song makes you feel like you could take on the world?
This a remix I'm proud of as I really connect with the original version and didn't want to take away the original feeling behind the vocals - Teyana Taylor - Bare With Me (Ronnie Loko Remix)
