The first song I fell in love with
The first song that gave me that “eyes closed” feeling was Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson. I think my mum or dad had given me Bad as a present. I remember listening to it on those mad, really wiry headphones, and thinking it was quite dangerous in a good way.

The first single I bought
Let’s Get Ready to Rhumble by PJ and Duncan from Our Price in Chiswick. Ant and Dec feels quite entry-level rap. Something about it was just calling me.
