Scorcher '1 Of 1' Interview: Past, Present and Future

1.  What’s the first thing you do in the morning, do you have a morning routine? 

No real routine, just wake up when my son jumps on me, take care of him and then get to work. 

2.  Before you started rapping - what did you imagine yourself doing? 

I never really imagined doing anything else, this is what I've always done. I really like football though, so maybe that. 

3. Knowing what you know about the music industry now - what advice would you have given to yourself when you released your first mixtape? 

Just to stay true and real to myself and make good music. You have to work hard, you get out, what you put in.

4. You’ve been around for a long time and seen the development of the grime scene - in your opinion what has been the biggest change? 

The scene has matured now and people are making all types of creative music which is more than capable of charting now and having success in it's own right. We're nowhere near as old as the U.S urban scene, but it's definitely developing and growing over here. 

5. What has been the biggest change in your music/sound since your first mixtape ‘Simply the best’ to now your E.P ‘1 of 1’?

I'd say that my sound has just developed as I've grown as a person. I rap about what happens in my life so my music is on that journey with me. 

6. Your newest song ‘Work Get It’ off ‘1 of 1’ features Wretch 32, Ari & Mercston - How did this collabo come about? 

We're all just real mates and we're always just chatting and supporting each others careers anyway, this is just an extension of that. 

7. The video for Work Get it - is different from your videos, what was the direction of this video? 

When we all meet up, we always have fun and when we all did our fire in the booth on 1xtra people loved the vibe of that and I wanted to capture that in a single / video format. 

8. What can fans expect to hear from the rest of the ‘1 of 1’ E.p? 

1 of 1 is different, it has a variety of records on there which are all 1 of 1 of their own kind. You have to hear it to fully get it ;) 

9. When will ‘1 of 1’ be out? 

1 of 1 is released alongside the B side record of 'Work Get It’ in early August.

10.  Which other artist feature? 

I wanted to concentrate on myself and telling my own stories so we didn't go bonkers with the features but there are a couple of good ones on there ;) 

11. What shows/ gigs / performance can we you can your fans looking forwarding to seeing you at? 

Lots of summer shows abroad and just up and down the country so just try and catch me when you can. All the info is on facebook, twitter and instagram @scorcherslife 

12.  Last words?

Keep locked, stay supporting and love good music.
