What do you love about music?
I love making/writing new music as well as playing songs by artists that I love. I love being onstage and playing live. I used to play with Jazz vs Electronics but I’ve got my own solo show now. I performed solo for the first time at The Squidz Club in September and I loved having the stage to myself!

Who are your favourite musicians?
I love all music! I really like Kirk Franklin, J Moss, JLS and Mariah Carey, I’m inspired by gospel and pop music.

What do you love about Do Your Own Thing?
I really enjoy the music, I’d never played in a band before I came to Do Your Own Thing. I really like being able to meet new people there.  I also started playing in the Jazz vs Electronics music group, it was like a crazy madness, like a competition. It was so inspiring! I love the music and colours, it’s so full of imagination.

Have you got any new performances coming up?
My next performance is at the Royal Festival Hall as part of The Beautiful Octopus Club on Friday 2 December. I’m writing some new songs to perform there.

What are your plans for the future?
I’d love to meet the piano player Paul Gavajay from Britain’s Got Talent, he’s brilliant. I really want to become a professional keyboard player. I want to show the world what my music can do and to use my music for other people to make them happy. I want to use my music to make the whole world so peaceful. I’d love to go to America and see other artists and what they can do.

Any last words, Aldean?
People from Heart n Soul, don’t be shy of your dreams. Don’t let anyone hold you back, just hang on tight and be confident.
