I started getting into dance music as a teenager which led to internet forums, raves and collecting records/DJing. Through forums, I made friends with people that were making their own music and that was my entry point.

Of course! So many times. I’m so sensitive to the dynamics and sounds in a song and if the mix is way off I find it really hard to keep working on it. I think in my early stages of making music this really held me back and I wouldn’t finish stuff if I thought the mix sounded terrible.

Have fun with it and be less precious. It’s not that serious!

I’d love to work with Pink Pantheress, Princess Nokia, Amaarae, Doja Cat, 070 Shake and so many more.

Trevor was on the Bitter Remix with Fletcher, the label set that up. The thing with Ludacris was just a sample of one of my songs that he, Big Boi and T.I. used. In fact, that song actually got taken down because they didn’t clear it, even though it would have been cool for them to keep it up!
About Jeremih, I was sent a demo of the song during lockdown and Zhu and I made the track for it to become a dance record, and then Jeremih recorded a second verse. We did that one remotely, I haven’t met either of them in person!
When the collaboration with Jorja Smith came about, I was still living in London at the time and working a lot with Ed Thomas, who is one of her main collaborators. We started the song idea for The One and played it for her, she loved it.

Thank you! We wrote this on the first day that we’d ever worked together. I guess sometimes you just get lucky!

I’m insanely hard on myself – usually when work is involved – and I’m definitely learning to break that pattern as it’s not a healthy one! In the case of infidelity, some remorse is probably a good thing depending on your arrangement (laughs).

Mnek wrote the song, so it was really about finding the right home for it! Banks has been a friend ever since I worked on her song Gimme with Hudson Mohawke, and I just felt like this one was perfect for her. I think she really brought it to life.

I have different favourites for different reasons! My favourites to play in a DJ set are Wild Girl and Recap.

I’m always working on stuff! Whether it’s for my own project, or for other artists’ projects. Last year I did music supervision for a short film called Femme that won a BAFTA and it was such an amazing learning experience. I’d love to further explore music supervision and maybe even scoring at some stage.
