Top Ten With Mohombi
I’m inspired by:
– PEOPLE, LOVE and LIFE
I realized I wanted to play music when:
– Christmas Eve, I was 5, my entire family had me get up on the table and sing a song. I sang Yesterday – Beatles! I haven’t stopped since
Four songs you might find on my iPod:
– Tinie Tempah, Pass out
Bruno Mars – The way you are
Quincy Jones ft. TI, BoB and Mohombi – Sanford and Son
Miguel – All I want is you
One word I would use to describe myself:
– Afro-Viking
The best part of being a musician is:
– The stage!
Right now, I’m most excited about:
– Shooting my next video with Akon!
Something most people don’t know about me is:
– I LOOOOOVE to sleep 🙂
One of my happiest moments was:
– Seeing the pride on my mothers face @ the Mobo (Music of Black Origin) Awards!
My music is:
– Colorblind
In ten years, I see myself:
– Still recruiting dance floor soldiers around the world
