What's the best thing about F1?
Seeing the speed the cars have on the turns is exhilarating.
Any similarities between the buzz of F1 and the buzz of live music?
I think the way the crowd and fans react to an artist's performance on stage or a driver on the track feels similar because it's the celebration of finally seeing something you've been supporting and following along with happen in real life!
Favourite Driver?
CHECO!!!!!!!!!!!
Favourite Team?
Historically, McLaren.
Favourite F1 Track?
Monaco.
If you could pick one of your songs to be the new theme tune for F1, which would it be and why?
No Mienten of course! When the beat drops it reminds me of seeing all the cars speed off hahaha!
What are your favourite memories from following Formula 1?
Fernando Alonso winning the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix after struggling with Ferrari for a long time.
Which F1 driver do you think would make the best music artist and why?
Sebastian Vettel. Great taste, loves rock classics.
You could go to a gig with three people dead or alive, who would they be and what band/artists would you go and see?
Tupac, Selena Quintanilla and Left Eye.
Tell us about your new single No Mienten?
No Mienten is a track I am so excited about because it's infectious and makes people want to move. Before we finished the song, I heard a 20-second clip of the beat and played that on loop for forever – I was and am still obsessed with it!
