The first song I fell in love with
Incredible by M-Beat featuring General Levy. I grew up on a housing estate in Clapton. East London was notorious for its jungle scene. The older kids would go raving and come back on a Saturday morning, pulling faces.
The first single I bought
I hate telling this story. Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini by Timmy Mallett [as Bombalurina], from Woolworths in Hackney. I grew up with my grandmother and she made me listen to Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue and Engelbert Humperdinck. So I blame my nan, because it was her money.
