LDNMan:

What would you say is your favourite high street brand?

Reece:

Oooh, Footlocker, or Asos

LDNMan:

What about your favourite designer?

Reece:

Tommy Hilfiger, Versace... wait can I say more than two? Figures.

LDNMan:

Who has been the most stylish person at Reprezent

Reece:

It has probably been Paigey Cakey, she was wearing a sports shirt from the night before and LV sunglasses with hoop earrings and she just looked cool her hair... The baby hairs were popping. Defiantly Paigey Cakey

LDNMan:

What about the worst dressed?

Reece:

It's probably been me.

LDNMan:

If you could interview anyone who would it be?

Reece:

I would love to interview Will Smith I saw him in a corridor when I was interviewing Jacob Latimore but I didn't get to talk to him.

LDNMan:

What is it like now being the face of BKChat Extra ?

Reece:

It's been great, it's built a lot more of an audience and I'm more recognised when I go out more, doing Radio not many people see what your face is like so they get to see me in a video.

LDNMan:

What was it that got you into DJing?

Reece:

I think I saw a video of Reggie Yates DJing to a group of freshers on Youtube and I thought 'Wow, That's sick I would love to do that'

LDNMan:

Have you always had an interest in Grime and Hip Hop and Fashion?

Reece:

I've always had an interest in Hip Hop, Grime not so much, but when I started at Represent I got a lot more into Grime, I think that that's partially because I came from Kent and no-one was really listening to it, though people didn't really listen to Hip Hop it was my brother that got me into that and then Grime when I moved to London Grime seemed to be the thing.

LDNMan:

How has Grime and Hip Hop had an Influence in Fashion?

Reece:

I think it has had a massive influence especially with the new school stuff, with people like Kanye (West,) A$AP Rocky, you can express yourself, music videos have got a lot better, better social media too, there is more of a chance for artist to express themselves clearly and not wait till they get signed and Lil B has some crazy outfits.

LDNMan:

Who you you think the most influential artist is ( Fashion Wise ) ?

Reece:

I don't want to just say Kanye ( West ) but someone who always sets trends... Soulja Boy. He's always on new brands and then they blow up. In the UK? Skepta bring back tracksuits and Lancey Faux too.
