TOURI$T. Why the dollar sign when I’m from the UK? I like it, so stop asking me. I am so East London that before the age of 18 I thought Oxford Circus was in Oxford, I know, sue me. I’m a product of poor decisions and hope. The hope that this little boy will grow up and make some money, ha, okay. I grew up in the church, both white and black, neither of which you will catch me at today. Me and God are on some other ish. Growing up, my pops sold a bit, before he went missing. Mum had no education so worked 12 hour shifts. Don’t cry for me, this is just your black boy from london starter pack, you wear it like a badge of honour. I learnt how to rap in the same hairdressers my mum worked in, sitting there for hours memorising every song that came up on the tv and performing for the customers. My inspiration and reason for making music? I could say it comes from watching Kanye West or Skepta’s come up, but no. My inspiration comes from a time in a club, watching people go crazy for a record by 2 Chainz. “She got a big booty so I call her big booty” was all it took. I was like yeah, I can do that, so thanks 2 Chainz, thanks for everything. What style of music do I make is like asking me what’s in a bottle of magnum. I don’t know but I like it and you would too if you just hit play. What I do know is that my music brought you here, to my page, to my world, to my bio which for some strange reason your still reading…well I’m TOURI$T but you can call me TOUR.
