I Like Music Because heading
  • lolololo: ilikemusic because... music is where some people display affection, show emotions and actually showing off who they are and their thinking. it is special unlike anything cos it goes out and never comes in back but in others.

  • simon f bakersimon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.

Alesha chats to I Like Music

ALESHA: Yeah I did do that.

ILM: And now you've working like mad and hitting the big time with Misteeq to what I'm sure will be a successful solo carer that's just beginning, so you must've learned shed loads - what's your advice to young musicians just starting out?

ALESHA: Sacrifice. There were many years I was skint; I had no money in my pocket, just for the love of music. I could have gone to university but I chose not to because I had faith in what I was doing. And I had part time jobs just to get money to get on the train literally to get to rehearsals. And I used to wear the same pair of jeans for months on end and the same pair of trainers for months on end and I used to borrow my friend's clothes. But I didn't care, because I knew that was I was trying to do was bigger than that. It's having that belief and having somebody close to me, like my mum who had faith in me.

Just one person having faith in you makes a difference. If you don't have that support system, I don't know how you can do it. I'm sure there are people who have their own reasons for making it, but for me having that one person in my life who supported me 100% it really helped.
