 When did you release your first song?
2003/2004 with FAUNA "Extra Extra"
What’s been your biggest track so far to date?
"MIRACLE" produced by the THUNDERCLAPS(Ejectorseat Records)
Who produces your music?
Myself, DVD, Mr Fash, Toyboy Johnson, The Thunderclaps.... between formetioned, I have every base covered in terms of ANY KIND OF BEAT I'm after, and its industry standard production too.
What record label are you on?
On. My. Jacks. Entertainment
Have you released any music videos?
I have shot two videos to date, "Swervin" and "This Won't Sell"....the former got play for a few weeks on Channel U the latter has been plastered all over the internet
What has the response been like to your music in your hometown?
It has been beautiful, a lot of love and support...Even the known haters in the ends, while I expected them to stay true to form and just hate, they showing love and appreciation too.
Dunno what it'll be like when I blow through the roof though, I figure they'll get right back to hating again lol
Being independent can be a grind! How are you finding it?
Well I'm in a place now where I've hit a few brick walls at times in this game and times where I've rubbed shoulders with real stars and felt right at home so the novelty of being in the game has definitely worn off though the hunger is as strong as ever.
I've managed to achieve some key goals so far though, and that is putting together a team and finding investment. Now everything is in place and there are no more excuses. I feel hype (on the low)lol
What are your thoughts on digital distribution?
If you can manipulate it you're good to go and since it is unlikely to go away, I guess I have no choice but to find a way to tame that beast and make it work for "me" ya dig?
Do you have an agent for bookings/tours?
That is one area my manager is seriously working on as we don’t have one yet. For anything like that just get in touch with LANRE SMITH - On. My. Jacks. Ent Ltd

Have you had much DJ support? Radio play? Mixtape features?
Yeah I been getting love from a few DJs, and ignored by others but thats jus what it is. On that note tho, shout outs to DJ LOCKY-STYLEZ, DJ KNEW-RULZ, DYNAMITE MC(Kiss FM), RAS KWAME(BBC 1xtra), DJ 279(Choice Fm) plus all the Djs on Itch Fm and any/all other radio stations supporting Lumes Flowne
What subject matters do you cover in your lyrics?
I cover what I find interesting and that is usually to do with current affairs or trends that I either happen to agree or disagree with. But there is a definite correlation between what I talk about in my lyrics and what I talk about on an everyday, (or even average day), basis. I figure that since I'm like most 20 something guys in the UK or even on the planet, I figure things I find interesting to talk about are likely to strike a chord in the listener as they would if I was talking to the listener about those things in a conversation.
Tell us a bit about your style.
I'd say my style is "streetsmart". That phrase applies to everything I do, from wearing clothes to producing, to rapping, to getting money, to living life in general. I'm a smart guy and though I'm NOT from the streets, I AM streetwise and I think it doesn't matter who you are or what you do, you need to be streetwise in the sense that you need to have a survival instinct. Thats my style in one phrase. Don't forget it
Outside of music how do relax?
Women, Sports, TV, occasional book, food
What can people expect from you in the near future?
My debut album , THE PORTFOLIO out at the end of May, with a supporting mixtape (The MixFolio:The Story So Far), a North Weezy project on OMJ Ent., A "Lumes Flowne Animation"..........., and a dvd documenting the release of The Portfolio and the journey during its release and promotion.
Lets just let the public digest all that for now then I'll let you know the rest.....but believe me there's more!!!!
Do you have a website or My Space page?
