Yeah yeah yeah you know I’m excited to perform, especially when its something to do with love.
I know what you mean, it’s a pure subject that brings nothing but joy, so who wouldn’t enjoy it! So, do you prefer a more intimate stage, or are you all about the massive crowds?
It doesn’t really matter, its all about the mind and the vibe.
Definetly feeling that! So what do you have lined up for us, any sneaky cheeky secrets you can tell us?
Im not obliged to tell you anything too sneaky!
I hear you were born in the U.K. is that true?
Ye man I was born in harrow!! Yeahh man!!!

Well there’s a lot of brilliant artists. I cant really name just one, we’re all a part of the U.K. and there’s a lot of great artists.
Well we’re very excited to have you here! So listen, if you could give one artist a serious talking to and telling off, who would it be? Or maybe just a piece of your mind, be it negative or positive…
Well, I don’t know! There’s so many, too many.

No, just me at the moment,
I see! Flying solo ay!...So Julian are there any songs by yourself or your family that you hold close to your heart?
Honestly there’s not one song, even with my fathers songs, I cannot listen to one and another then decide upon my favorite, and even if I’m writing a song I cant hold any of them closer to my heart then another, I like to think every time I write a song I put my heart and soul into it. You know everything you try, you must try your best. But there are many great songs.
I see I see, well if you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be?
Oh you got me (laughs)
Take your time!
Well there’s a lot of artists, but one that comes to mind is Stevie Wonder.
Anyone current? Maybe a bit of Lady Gaga?
(Laughs a lot) gosh depends what we’re talking about, but hey, maybe. But we have to remember to party in a good way.

Just kickin back, relaxing, making some music, eating good food.

Mainly fish, I love my fish!

The good pure stuff from the earth.
Ahh, so no cross breeds, a bit of cheese maybe?
Nah man the earth product is the purest. With some nice apples for when you get hungry.
