Back in Knowle West I grew up in a white ghetto and could go to a Jamaican club where there's no white people, and a white club with no other black people. And I never noticed. When I was twelve and my cousins Mark and Miles from the first line-up of Massive Attack would get ready to go out, they would be playing everything from Parliament to T-Rex. My Uncle Ken who brought me up is a white guy who got me into black music - he used to play Al Green, Sam Cooke and other legends all the time. So I grew up with all this different music, I've been blessed because no-one can put my music in a box -- it's not black, it's not white, it's not female, it's not male. less
