I liked the fact that I was supporting a British brand, somebody I could have a relationship with and people that I could talk to.

I find my dress sense tends to be a bit of a mixture between high fashion and unique vintage pieces with a little bit of street trends. For example, I might find a really nice, suede dinner jacket that I'd wear with a basic plain white shirt and some chinos and a pair of Nike trainers.

I was like 14 and decided I wanted to be a rapper, so I needed a hip rapper name. I was with one of my friends in class and literally went through a thesaurus. I saw temper and thought, I like this, but it's too much. My friend was like, What about Tinie for tiny, and that was that.
