One Minute Interview: DELS
Artist:
RWD
The Royal Albert Hall’s much antcipated Hush series is an initiative to support breakthrough UK talent, giving new artists the platform to play at the historic RAH venue early in their career. Lined up to perform as part of the Hush series on 15 September, we put some quick fire questions to the Ipswich born, London based rapper, DELS.
Complete the sentence: If i wasn't an artist i'd be...
A basketball player, thats my other passion.
How would you describe your music in three words?
Uptempo,colourful, electronic.
You were discovered by the late Radio 1 DJ John Peel. What memory do you have of him?
i didnt even know who he was when i first met him. He was like an old man standing at the bar watching me [laughs]. It took for someone to break it down to me and thats when i really understood his power but my memory was that he was a really fun person to be around and he loved music and he encouraged me to keep my ears open and listen to new things. Thats how i progressed to what i do now.

Hot Chip vs Eli T?[producers from DELS album]
I would say Eli T as nobody knows who he is.
Why should we buy your single Lazy?
The reason i came up with Lazy was because it was such an uptempo track i wanted to do something conceptually that was the total opposite to the tune. i had the vision of the vision of people dancing to this really uptempo track but reciting lazy lyrics. It's actually a reall positive song and people should buy it.
