Favourite Raw Moment
“It’s more of an ongoing thing, but for me it’s experiencing everyone's individual music tastes. Generally in life everyone lives in their own unique world and music is one way which someone can give you access to theirs”
Best Live Music Experience
“When I was about 8, on a family trip to Florida (Orlando), we ended up at a live music event after dinner close to where we were staying. It was for a Motown group called The Whispers and they were supported by a new Artist, who we now know very well as R&B singer Brandy! It has stuck with me ever since, of course she has one of the best voices across the board and I got to witness one of her early performances. I’ve been a fan ever since.”
