    Interview with Spike E by World Pop Magazine

2. Back in the day

Worldpop: How did the Blazin' Squad get together?

Spike-e: Well, it all started about 3 years ago. There were five of us in the group and there were five of us in another group called The Incredible Crew. We all went to a studio together and decided to record a track. It all started from there.

Worldpop: Do you ever disagree when it comes to making music?

Spike-e: No, when we disagree its only for about 5 minutes, we all decide together what’s gonna happen and it all comes out wicked.

Worldpop: How would you describe your style of music?

Spike-e:  I don’t think you can really describe it 'cos its so different. I see pop as popular so I don’t mind being marketed as pop.

Worldpop: How do you feel about being dubbed ‘The So Solid Juniors’?

Spike-e: Well in a way its good because they’re well respected and they’ve had Number Ones and everything, but in another way it’s bad because we wanna be unique.

Worldpop: Have you met the So Solid Crew?

Spike-e: We’ve met a couple of them, we’ve met Romeo and Harvey, and they’re top geezers. They said watch out for people who don’t like your music cos they’ll be the ones who are hatin'

Worldpop: Which artists influence you musically?
Spike-e: Pay As U Go, So Solid, Heartless, Eminem, Dre...everyone. J-Lo’s my favourite lady.

3. School's out for summer

worldpop: Are you guys still in school?

Spike-e: We’ve all just done our GCSEs. We’ll get the results three days after the single is released. It was quite hard to fit in the revision, it was all jumbled up but we worked our way around it and hopefully it’s worked out for the best. The record company made sure we did everything that had to be done. Like revision, they respected that and we worked around it with the music. If it all kicks off we won’t have to go to college.

worldpop: Do you all get on well with each other?

Spike-e: Yeah, we’ve all been mates for so long, we’re all best friends. I don’t think we could ever be split up. We never have fights, only 5-minute arguments.

worldpop: Did your record company try to change the group in any way?

Spike-e: No they haven’t tried to change us at all really, they’ve given us clothes…some clothes I wouldn’t wear but when you were them they look wicked so that means they’re doing the right things for us.

worldpop: How would the group react if the record company did try and make changes?

Spike-e: Well it depends, I mean you have to try new things, if the record company tell us that something’s gonna go really well, they know best so its good to try out what they’re doing.

worldpop: How would you describe your fashion style?

Melo-D: I dunno really, quite a lot of its street, just all brand names and stuff like any other teenager. We have a stylist; I know they have the best intentions for us.

worldpop: Do you have any plans to tour this year?

Melo-D: Yeah, we’ll be doing all the Feel The Noise gigs, Smash Hits tour in October, and various under-18 gigs.  We just do our routine at the moment but hopefully as we get bigger our live show will get better.

worldpop: When will your album be released?

Melo-D: Our album should be out early next year. We’ve done about 17 tunes, all different types of music.

worldpop: How will you be spending the money you make from the single?

Melo-D: In different ways, some of it I’ll be saving for a car and a house but I dunno really, I’ll probably be spending quite a lot of it on clothes.

worldpop: How have your school friends reacted to your fame?

Melo-D: You get a lot of jealousy but most of them are alright. The people that are your proper friends are alright about it but obviously you get haters saying, ‘I’ll make more money than you’. I can imagine it getting worse. I’ll let it go over my head, I’m only bothered about my fans, I ain’t bothered about haters, I ain’t got time for them.

worldpop: How do you feel about having lots of female fans?

Spike-e: I love it; they’ll be following us around soon. I wouldn’t take advantage of it.
