"I felt very disappointed...I thought it was such a shame" Stormzy on the BRIT Awards not recognising grime music
Clara AmfoAvailable for over a year
Stormzy told Clara how he felt let down by the BRIT Awards not recognising grime: "I felt very disappointed, I wasn't angry. It was such a great year for grime and underground music... I thought maybe this year it might get celebrated. "You know when you've got that little bit of hope and that little bit of faith, and then they didn't. I thought it was such a shame. He's not totally disheartened though "It's just a matter of breaking the doors down and carrying on". He also talked about branching out from his grime comfort zone: "Trying other things like R&B, jazz and hip-hop and soul... that's the extra bit of fun for me"
