Interviews: Tinchy
Tinchy is a man we love here on The Hollyoaks Music Show with Matalan.co.uk, so much so that we've had him back for the latest series. The little man of grime gave us all the goss surrounding his latest single with Dappy Spaceship.
Track of the year?
Spaceship – Tinchy and Dappy.
Favourite track of all time?
More Money, More Problems – BIG.
Fave Hollyoaks character?
Lil’ Tom – he’s a cool guy.
Hottest trend for Summer?
Shambala bracelets – everyone seems to want them.
Fashion no-no’s?
I’ve never been a fan of like when people have the bottom of their jeans screwed up real tight; you know where the jeans come in like that – tapered, that’s it.
Roll the jeans down, not up.
Collars: turn ‘em up or turn ‘em down?
Nah, keep ‘em down.
What could a girl wear for a date that would put you off?
A hoodie! Or if she turned up wearing, like, high-heels and a hoodie!
What’s your idea of the perfect date?
At my place – in the spaceship.
What do you do to relax your mind?
Play computer games. Pro-Evolution Soccer is my favourite at the moment, but I’m turning FIFA slowly.
What’s the story behind how ‘Spaceship’ came together?
Well, I already had a beat picked and I’d worked with Dappy before, so I decided to get him in to work again.
It’s a happy, like, motivational, song. We wanted to show that, even though we’re happy where we are now, we still appreciate those people that helped us get there.
What’s Dappy like to work with?
He’s cool man; he’s like real mad talented. He’s got a lot of ideas, always going back and forward.
What do you still want to conquer?
It would be good to break America. Everyone who makes music wants to do that because there’s a bigger market out there.
