Unfortunately, due to inclement weather in Canada and northern Michigan, the show is CANCELLED. We're very sorry for the inconvenience.Ticket holders have been contacted via email.

The album’s called Mixed Race because being mixed race is the single biggest influence on my music. You sat down at the table in my house and you saw every colour. It’s made me much more open-minded than I could’ve been. I come from both worlds.

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.

Since Knowle West Boy I’ve been promoting that album, touring and looking for a singer. Normally I just meet singers by accident. But I’d been thinking about Mixed Race while touring the last album, and one of the live vocalists was Francesca – Franky Riley. So the two of us just started recording immediately. All I’ve been doing is touring and recording. ‘Cos it’s getting harder out there, and the harder it is, the harder you have to work.
