Goin Innnnnn>>>

DJ Zinc>>> The man responsible for many a club banger over the years and production on my album "On A Mission".. There's always just something about a Zinc track that stands out in a set and makes the floor shake (which is why i got him to mix down my album too), and here is his new single 'Goin In' from his new highly anticipated album!!!

If you're feeling it make sure you follow him on twitter @djzinc

Ghost Poet @ KoKo!!!!!

I was very privileged to be asked to be a guest at Ghostpoet's SOLD OUT KoKo Show yesterday! The show was amazing, complete with horn and string sections, visuals and lots of experimental electrical equipment/sound triggers and some interesting looking light bulbs, it was truly an inspiration.

He asked me to sing the chorus to 'Cash and Carry Me Home' which is a big tune and was the last song of the night, I really wanted to convince him to stage dive as the title obviously is yearning for it but once i saw him in his dapper suit I thought otherwise, someone might spill beer on it and the suit was looking fresh!



The extremely talented Lianne La Havas who's new song 'Forget' is so beautiful (and out now) also joined Ghostpoet on stage...

Here she is on Jools Holland, gives me goosebumps>>>



The also extremely talented Tawiah joined him on stage. Who obviously tore it up as per usual. I am a massive fan of her's, her voice is so insanely ridiculously incredible!

Go to her website for a free download of her latest E.P 'Run' that came out over Christmas, you may have heard me play 'Little Drummer Boy' on my Christmas Rinse FM takeover.

EQUALS Live!

Yay! I'm very excited to be performing at EQUALS live at The Royal Festival Hall as part of the Southbank's centre's WOW (Women Of The World) festival, I'm over the moon to be sharing the stage with an amazing line up of ladies... Annie Lennox!!!!! Emile Sande!!!!! and Jess Mills!!!!!! and create awareness for such a worthy cause.

Get yourself down to the Royal Festival Hall in London on Friday 9th March to celebrate International Women’s Day with a unique night of live music and inspirational good times.


Annie Lennox, who brought EQUALS together in 2011, explains:

“I’m proud to be curating an evening of British female artists in celebration of InternationalWomen’s Day. EQUALS Live will shine a spotlight on an incredible new generation of women in music who are raising their voices in solidarity with women across the globe. International Women’s Day is the perfect time to reignite debate about what a more equal world would look like with a new generation and to finish the work of the women and men who paved the way before us.”

We will be joined on stage by special guest speakers, to talk about the inequalities that women and girls deal with every day around the world, and inspire people to get involved in making the world a more equal place.

Tickets are from £17.50 (for a limited number of student and other concessions) or from £35 full price. Get yours from the Southbank Centre website now.

Lana Del Rey Review

I really like this album, she reminds me of a mixture between Johnny Cash, Kate Bush & Paris Hilton (you'll understand more when you listen). The more i play it the more i find myself singing it and i'm glad to know that Sean from Rough Trade feels the same!

New Favourite Song #3

Swindle ft. Footsie & Nadia - Ignition

Swindle is a badboy producer go and ask anyone!!! and the first time I heard this on Rinse FM I was like who is this???? I love the way Nadia's voice sounds so jazzy and Footsie obviously sounds blissfully at home on a dubstep beat.

Happy Birthday J.D

It is J Dilla's birthday today....'The Shining' was the first CD my first love bought me on my 18th birthday (even though I'm sure he ripped it on to his computer first). It was definitely an amazing present and i rinsed it, hard!

This is one of my favourite love songs ever, and my contribution to all of you compiling your track lists for your valentines mixtapes...
