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.Support slots for Little Mix and Fifth Harmony are no small feat, yet US-based pop artist Aleem has managed it in the space of a year.
The singer-songwriter is following a successful UK tour with the American girl group and jumping straight into Little Mix's November shows, including a performance at the O2 Arena in London.
We're premiering his sultry new video for "So Damn Good", check it out:
What are you listening to at the moment?
I've been listening to the new Imagine Dragons record on repeat. You can never go wrong with that band .
How are you feeling about supporting Little Mix this month?
I'm extremely ecstatic! From the little that I've seen, the crowds are massive and everyone seems to be having a great time. Can't wait to play!
What are your plans for 2018?
I'll be headlining my own tour in the spring of 2018 in the UK and Ireland and I look forward to releasing more music!
What was the first gig you ever played and what's been the best so far?
My first gig ever played was at a coffee shop in my hometown of Northbrook, Illinois when I was a freshman in high school. The best gig to date - opening night on the 727 tour with Fifth Harmony in Dublin last year. The energy in that room is something I will never forget as it was my first ever arena show.
