“Kanye West, British artists like Adele, Tinie Tempah, then Foster the People, something a little different from what I’m used to. That way it shows a different side to the music that I am making.”

“No, we’re still going to be doing Jonas Brothers stuff, nothing

“There is a lot happening electronic music-wise in Edinburgh at the moment and a lot of people are attending dubstep and bass music nights so there is plenty to talk about.”

“There are scenes within the dubstep movement that are still healthy, and there are artists still experimenting with it’s sound…it’s always interesting to hear new ideas and fresh ways of making music.”
