Krept joins us at Simply Sound to chat about his life in music and his lifestyle out of his music career.

So Krept lets get the questions rolling, how old were you when you started off in the music industry?Krept: I was around 13 years when I started loving music. I started to make up my own raps after school and my other mates would join in and we would have a rap off (laughs). So basically that is how it all started and I’m still creating raps to this day.

We love your music and your rapping is great. When you were younger did you think you would be here today?Krept: Nah defo not, we just began making up raps in our bedroom after school for a bit of fun, and now were here sharing those raps we made with our friends.

What do you aim for you music to do to the younger generation?Krept: I just wanted my music to inspire young people, as when I was growing up music play a huge part of my life. I want my music to motivate people to carry on with their goals you know, and it can show that like me coming from a run down house in Croydon you can make it somewhere in the world.

What could be a motivation quote you could give to your fans then?There's going to be times in your life when people tell you, you can't do something, and there's going to be times in your life when people tell you, you cant live your dreams.

Have you had any favorite or life changing moments this year?Krept: My favorite moment by far was when i performed at Reading Festival the crowd when crazy man! The screams were so loud! It was unreal to think that all these people have come to see me perform.

Who’s your celebrity friend, and is there anyone you would like to make a song with?Krept: Ive always wanted to make music with Kanye West as his music inspired me a lot, ive got a few celebrity friends, most of them singers or rappers like Stormzy, and Ed Sheeran.I would love to preform with Fetty Wrap as im close mates with him, but we live such busy lifes, when it comes to preforming our timings never add up.

How do you come up with the raps you make?Krept: I tend to base my raps around passed experiences in life when growing up I didn’t have the best childhood you know always getting into trouble and fights in school, getting myself mixed up with the wrong people, like joining gangs.

Do you think young people are targets for this type of up bringing, getting themselves into gangs? And a fan wanted to know do you have any pets?

Krept: yeah course, there are so many young people getting mixed up in the wrong groups, getting involved in drugs and crime, you know I was young too and got mixed up with the wrong people.Krept- Yeah I’ve got a family, but would love to have a pet of our own but cant as were always on the go.

Who do you base your style of clothing on?Krept: My style icon is Usher, I've always been inspired by what he wears and he can make wearing sunglasses in the dark look good (laughs).Ha yeah he can, is there a song which you have enjoyed writing the most?Krept: My most enjoyable song I have written would be Dreams featuring Ed Sheeran, I loved writing this song with Ed as he’s a huge inspiration to me selling out the O2, when he first started off singing on the streets for some pocket money .. Now look where he is!!

I am a huge fan of Ed Sheeran, he is great! Would you write music with him?Krept: Yes of course I would and hopefully it would get to number one in the charts!

Ahhh no way! He's I’m a HUGE fan of Ed Sheeran!!So goodI think that’s all for now Krept, thank you for coming in and answering some questions for us, the fans will love that motivational quotes. Krept- No problem, anytime.Good luck at Wireless, and we hope to see you soon.
