Well, I should co co! I've been splashing out
on lots of new costumes and have found a
great designer that I collaborate with to
create some incredible one off pieces for a big
event that I'm performing in called EABurns;
who also makes incredible jewellery. Some of
my favourite events I've performed at are gay
events, I really look forward to Pride and are
so grateful for the gay community for opening
its arms to me and I can't wait till the next
time.
The secret to youth is?
Botox! No not really (although that can help)
I think the secret to youth is doing something
that you love. I think my job keeps me young
because it never feels like work and I'll
happily spend 24 hours on a plane just so I
can sing to people or spend days in a
basement studio with no windows (which
would be hell to some people), but feels
amazing to me as I'm creating new music.
I think I'd snog Jessie J, Marry Boy George as
I know he'll keep me laughing even though I
think our sex life would be non existent for
obvious reasons and I would avoid Justin
Bieber (not because of him as an artist, we
performed together in Paris last year as we
are both on the same record label and he was
amazing live) I just think it's cruel to have a
monkey as a pet, so not down with that.

Now, you’ve gotten yourself a bit of a
gay fan base (naturally!) Are we going
to be seeing a lot more campness from
the McDonald this year?
2014
INTERVIEW
The best piece of advice you’ve ever
been given?
Never eat yellow snow ;)
Complete the sentence: If all fails and
you’ve only got £10 in your pocket…
Don't worry you can still buy 10 things in
Poundland :D ∎
What do you think the hot trends for
2014 are going to be?
Musically speaking I think more deep house
and 90's inspired tracks. Fashion wise I was
hoping that Buffalo shoes are gonna make a
big comeback as I've bought quite a few pairs
on eBay, I think I'm having an early midlife
crisis! My other prediction is my album "I
Like This Beat" being massive!
You’ve done a few gigs in Russia, have
you managed to connect with any gay
fans whilst out there?
It’s funny you should mention that as I'm
going to Moscow this month and I'm very
interested to perform there, my tour manager
that’s coming with me on this trip is gay. I
have performed in a gay club in Moscow last
year but of course it wasn't openly a gay club.
It's a real backward step that Russia has
taken and has shocked the rest of the civilised
world with its new policies. I started working
with a gay charity last year called Warriors
for Love in The Netherlands in conjunction
with Amnesty International, which aims to
promote equality for love no matter who you
love worldwide. It's amazing to hear about
the work they are doing and it's so easy to
forget how lucky we are in Europe to the
freedom we have and the equal rights we have
compared to other places in the world.
Marry Snog Avoid: Justin Bieber, Boy
George, Jessie J?
