Kid V- Heads-Up D-Generates Hip-Hop Gig

Can you tell us a bit about you? Where did you grow up?
Tallaght
I went through a lot of racial problems growing up here, from bus drivers, peers, even fully grown adults. Irish folk back then found it hard to accept me as Irish, even though the way I speak and mannerism are similar.

One thing about where I grew up is everyone lived for football so I connected with many people that way which was great.

Tell us about your interest in music , which artists have influenced you?
My interest in music came from very young; my mother is a tailor and when grow up she had a shop of which I spent a huge amount of time at, I remember my mother having an old school white alarm clock/radio it was always on I swear if there were ever an Irish radio hit trivia show I’d win hands down. My early influences artist wise were Lil Wayne, Eminem, childish gambino and meek millz.

Have you been involved in any productions in The Civic before?
Aside from going’s a few times as a kid for plays, no.

What can Tallaght audiences expect from your upcoming gig?
You can expect chill welcoming vibes, once the performance starts its all energy from me, it will be very interactive and fun.

Tell us a random fact about yourself?
Fun fact I grew up heavily listening to the radio, which is when I heard about some criminal activity in the area, I remember vividly sitting in the car with my mother listening to FM104 and the news was on, the presenter was talking about a shoot in an estate not far from where we lived, when the presenter mentioned the estate it happened in I looked at my Mother and said “..isn’t that near where we live” she was flustered and kind of dodged the question, from then on I knew that Tallaght was not for the faint hearted.(I don’t totally agree with this anymore but that is a whole another discussion). We Agree!
