I grew up loving TV so much. It was such an integral part of my youth, and I was completely an Emmy geek.

On the stage you develop a character that's different from yourself. In a film they're always saying, 'Walk over here. Say this line. Be you.'

Lyrics came quite easy early on in my career. But I always wanted to push it further and stand out a bit more.

Moving into grime, our lyrics became more in-depth.
