The first song I fell in love with
When I was a little boy, we had a caravan on the Isle of Sheppey, and I remember hearing My Sweet Lord by George Harrison one summer. It’s about searching for God, and I’ve always thought the way it moves from Hallelujah to Hare Krishna is really beautiful.

The first single I bought
Big Time by Rick James from Paul’s Music on London’s Cambridge Heath Road. Even at a young age, I liked my funk. I’ve only been addicted to two things in life – funk and praise.
