WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?
In short because I love it! I’m an Event Promoter for Krudd UK including managing Bubblin’ Tuesdays and I’m very lucky to be able to do something I love. There’s no better buzz than taking an event from an idea from a brainstorm to seeing 100s of fans have an amazing night!
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
Feel like it’s a cop out answer but everyone around me! I’m lucky to work as part of an amazing team at Krudd and the lads inspire me everyday to be the best I can and work as hard as I can, as well as working for Mimm which is a brilliant pillar of the local community. I’m lucky that all of my mates are on their ting too and we’re all working towards our own goals, to be surrounded by people with that mindset is really important.
DREAM DJ/ ARTIST TO PLAY AT BUBBLIN’?
This is a hard one and I don’t think I’ve ever said the same person when asked haha. Dream DJ would probably be Skream or DJ EZ just because its them, they’re the GOATs! Artist wise probably Skepta because I think he’s probably the most complete artist to come from the UK, not sure he’d fancy a Tuesday night at Stealth though haha. Would also like to say Mike Skinner/The Streets but we had him booked for June and had to postpone it so its a bit of a touchy subject right now!
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE BUBBLIN’ IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS?
Out of Lockdown hopefully! But other than that, the journeys been mad to go from Filthys and 100 people a week to selling out Stealth regularly in 2 years give or take so it’s hard to say but I’d love to do an event in The Level at Trent or Rock City just because they’re the biggest and best so that's got to be any promoters goal, Would also love to expand locations, artists etc and just keep progressing while offering the same platform we currently do to emerging/student DJs.
KANO OR GIGGS?
This is actually easier than you’d think, Kano is my favourite UK rapper ever, I wanted to say him for the dream artist but didn’t wanna answer this too early, so Kano definitely. Especially after seeing him play with a full live band at Rock City. The best to ever do it! Take nothing away from The Landlord though, a legend in British Culture and a GOAT in his own right.
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE NEXT BUBBLIN’ EVENTS IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE BEST BELIEVE THEY’RE GONNA GO OFF! AND SHOUTOUT KRUDD TOO.
