My Fantasy Band: Tinchy Stryder
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Vocals: Mary J Blige and Lil Wayne
I think Mary J Blige is one of a kind. Lil Wayne is a huge influence for me. He's always experimenting and isn't afraid to come out of his box and I respect that.
MCing: Me
I'd MC as well so I could be involved on stage. I reckon I could hold my own. I could have my DJ, Spyro, on the decks too. I know how good he is so there's no risk.
Guitar: Fraser T Smith
He's actually a producer. He worked on my album, 'Catch 22', as well as Pixie Lott, Craig David and Kano. I've never seen anyone play guitar as good as him.
Bass: Flea
Red Hot Chili Peppers' bass player is pretty cool and I'm trying to introduce the word 'Flee' to everybody... it's for when something is so fly, it's flee. Basically, he stole my word for his name.
Drums: Travis Barker
Travis plays with Blink 182. They're good! I watched some programme about the band and Travis' playing blew me away.
Tinchy Stryder joins VV Brown, N-Dubz, Frankmusik, Pixie Lott and more on I Got Soul, the single for "War Child", out on Monday. Check out www.warchild.org.uk
