It was through a job at David (Linx) Grant’s cousin’s record store in Tottenham that you formed your first bands, New Life and Light Of The World. Bands like Gonzales, FBI, and the Average White Band were my blueprint, my guides, my teenage guide to the galaxy! On the other, constant racial prejudice, severe beatings, and cold weather to boot! To say music saved me would be a gross understatement!ĭiscovering the live music scene and the captivating sound of soul, jazz, and funk with all its derivatives was inspirational, liberating, and life-changing. It divided my soul! On one hand, here I was a young aspiring musician full of dreams entering the Promised Land, the musical hub of the universe. Can you tell us a little about relocating to the UK from Mauritius? What it was like back then in London, and how you were inspired by the local live music scene and in particular bands such as Gonzales & FBI?
