Loyle Carner

June 2, 2016

Loyle Carner’s music is planted at an intersection between the boom-bap of East Coast hip-hop, jazz-inflected portraits of South London, and soulful, laid back poetry; there’s solid, honest and raw sentimentality running through his sound. His latest single, Stars & Shards, was recently premiered by Annie Mac on Radio 1 as her Hottest Record and will be released on burgeoning label AMF Records, impacting 17th June. On the back of selling out two UK tours, Carner has announced a fresh run of dates including London’s prestigious Koko.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do. Just an aspiring chef from the South, make music too.

Top 3 favorite or most visited websites and why? Youtube for music, Flatspot for creps, Nigel Slaters for tips.

How has living in London affected your music? There’s a lot of different cultures here, so there’s always something new to write about.

Where do you plan to travel next? Currently on tour in Europe, en route to Berlin for our next show.

Favorite dessert? I don’t really have dessert, rather just get seconds.
