Tinie Tempah

Highs and lows have happened, but I've been very successful.

So in the seven to eight years, I think I basically settled down, had kids, picked up jiu-jitsu, started doing a bit of TV work, so coming for your gigs.

I'm glad to see you're back in the music.

Yeah, exactly.

That feels to me where you should be.

I like the reassurance.

But like, yeah, set up a studio.

So we had studios before in Greenwich, but we were renting those.

And then we got one of those horrible letters, you know, we're going to turn it into residences.

You've got X amount of months to move out.

So we ended up buying a place in northwest London.

And so I did that.

But that was like three years ago.

So in this whole interim period, that's pretty much what I've been doing.

You're going to have to work really hard not to say it.

Excited, excited.

It was a bit of a shock to the system, to be fair.

Like I was saying before, it was a conscious decision, but I didn't quite know what I was getting myself into, actually, to be honest.

And that's probably the whole premise of the podcast, to a certain degree.

So the actual reality of it, especially as an artist, and I think it's quite fair to say maybe not every single artist is like this, but you're quite self absorbed.
