I lived in Peckham for the first 12 years of my life and then my mum and dad decided they really didn't want to bring up their children there. So they saved up money and bought a house in Plumstead, semi-detached, three bedrooms. Tinie Tempah bedroombringbuy share on social
I feel like I'm indirectly showing people, not that there's another way, but just that if you really have a dream, you should try and give it a go. Tinie Tempah dreamfeelgive Change image and share on social

Gone are the days when you'd have to tune in to a mad illegal radio station late at night to be able to hear the rapper of your choice. That's all changed now. That's all gone out of the window. And I feel like I represent that change. I represent the era of iPods and Shuffle and things like that. Tinie Tempah changechoiceday share on social

I really want to work with Adele, I think she's amazing. Lykke Li as well. I love them both. I'd also like to work with The Script. I met them in Australia and we just got on like a house on fire. Tinie Tempah adeleamazeaustralia Change image and share on social
I'm just a young person trying to fulfil his potential and be the best he can be at what he wants to do... I guess that's why people connect with the music. Tinie Tempah connectfulfilguess Change image and share on social
I first became interested in style when I was 16 and I had my first couple of gigs. I realised I couldn't look like the people I was performing to. Not in a condescending way, but just that it would be weird if I was wearing exactly what someone in the crowd was wearing. Tinie Tempah condescendcouplecrowd share on social
