00:00 Hey, so you look amazing. Thank you. How do you feel about being here tonight?
00:06 I'm just excited. Looking forward to meeting my friends and just having a nice time.
00:11 Yeah, how did you find out that you were nominated for the Lecture No Dance Act?
00:15 My manager texted me when I was away and I was like 'Oh my god, I can't believe it!'
00:20 Because I always wanted to be, once I saw, as soon as I saw that Dance Caregiver was added to the bag
00:25 I was like 'I would love to be nominated' because black artists have been left out of dance music for a long time
00:32 and I should know it's part of the origins of electronic music and star music
00:37 so to see it come back and us actually getting noticed and getting some from athletes is brilliant.
00:44 Yeah, that's so amazing. How do you feel about being a part of this event?
00:49 I mean, like you've just said, it's an important event to have.
00:52 I think it's really important and I feel very privileged, like you said, very honoured and very blessed to be here.
00:58 Well have a great night. Thank you.
01:00 Love to see you. You too. Bye.
01:02 I've got my friend, she's come with me and I was like 'Ketan, of course she's like 'You're joking''
01:08 and I'm like 'Yeah, I'm a signed artist' and she's like 'Yeah, that's what I'm saying'. Yeah, very, very.
01:12 [crowd noise]
01:26 [crowd noise]
01:40 Charlie.
01:42 [crowd noise]
01:59 Hi. So yeah, I'm from the local newspaper.
02:03 So it's amazing to meet you. How do you feel about being here?
02:08 I am so excited. I've been really looking forward to this.
02:12 Yeah, I'm really happy to be here.
02:15 Yeah, have you been to Sheffield before?
02:17 I have, yeah. Long, long, long time ago though.
02:19 Yeah, how does it feel to return?
02:21 I mean, I love the city. It's like a really nice day to walk in and just like everyone has been passing around.
02:27 It's like a nice size. There are plenty of people.
02:30 So how do you feel about this night and your nomination as well?
02:36 It's really like a homecoming. Everyone on the list of nominations is like a friend of mine or somebody who plays in my set.
02:47 So I feel like I want everyone to win because they're just my favourite artists.
02:54 Amazing. I mean, I used to listen to you when you were Luna George.
02:59 How does it feel since kind of going solo?
03:03 I mean, it's always important to developers and artists.
03:08 So I'm always going through to my next kind of evolution.
03:12 So it's been a real pleasure.
03:14 Amazing. And I know you've spoken before about the role of the nose.
03:18 Could you speak a little bit about that? What that means to you?
03:22 It's a work in progress and there's nothing more exciting than seeing something that didn't even really, wasn't even really happening.
03:32 And then get more and more developers to the point now where it's an electronic category at the Mobo.
03:40 I don't think there's been a lot of people doing this before and it's like, I can see the progress.
03:44 So it's like so really fun to watch.
03:46 Amazing. Well, have a great night. Thank you.
03:48 You look amazing. What inspired you on what's the next?
03:55 Well, we're at the Mobo. As you guys know, I'm hosting.
03:58 So I wanted to go all out and do a bit of something loud.
04:01 So, yeah, I said, you know, like Chandelier, why not?
04:05 And I know I'm putting up with change.
04:07 Oh, girl, you got four on the way.
04:09 Woo! Honestly, you look great. I'm looking forward to your grant.
04:12 I know you've got to go.
04:13 Yeah. Thank you.
04:14 On the first day, I just got a lot.
04:16 Thank you.
04:17 Can I quickly grab you for Daily Mirror?
04:19 Oh, I've got to go. I'm so sorry.
