The first single I bought
Rollout (My Business) by Ludacris from HMV in Lewisham Shopping Centre. I played it over and over.

The first song I fell in love with
I grew up listening to a lot of reggae – my dad was a Rastafarian – so Get Up, Stand Up by Bob Marley was always playing in the house when my mum was dishing out the chores. It’s ironic that it’s a song about redemption when you’re being told to clean the house.
