RHV: Tell us how the band formed in three sentences.
I am a male solo act so I started making music when I came to London. I initially intended to pursue a career in dance but fell into music after frequenting many clubs where I met my producer, dancers and some of the best new fashion talent. I was inspired by the sounds and styles of what I was hearing and seeing and fused with my dance theatre background just started putting everything together.

I was a student of contemporary dance, performance art and theatre.

RHV: What do you demand on your rider?
I once did a gig with a band who I will not name who basically got pissed before their gig and fucked their show up. They came barging into the shared dressing room and started screaming at each other. I had to get in the middle of these two guys who I thought were going to start brawling.
