Kano tells us what makes him tick

<p><br /> Kano may be one of the UK's most successful artists, but he says he is not that bothered about being in fashion.<br /> </p><p><br /> The MC believes he has blazed a trail on the music scene but admits it has not always been easy.<br /> </p><p><br /> He said: "Sometimes I feel like I've been a little bit ahead of the scene where I come from. I was experimenting with different sounds. I was doing tracks like Typical Me with guitars before everyone tried to jump on this indie thing - you know, MCs and indie bands."<br /> </p><p><br /> As well as his solo material, Kano is known for his collaborations, so who would he most like to work with?<br /> </p><p><br /> "I don't know. I've got so many favourite rappers but for me, when it comes to collaborating, I always like to collaborate with someone who can do something different to what I do and can bring something different to the table.<br /> </p><p><br /> "So although a song with Jay-Z would be great, I'd probably like to work with Outkast," the 25-year-old said.<br /> </p><p><br /> And as for his thoughts on reality TV bands: "JLS I've never worked with but, you know, it's cool. I love to see people doing well."<br /> </p>
