Taio Cruz chats to I Like Music
ILM: You've spent the last few years writing and recording in the US with the likes of Tricky Stewart, the man behind Rihanna's "Umbrella". In fact the song was originally earmarked for Taio to perform, that was until a certain Jay-Z heard it, offered it to Rhianna and the rest as they say …. Are you ok with that?
TAIO: Yeah Tricky is such a good friend. I'm just happy he's doing well out of the situation, that Rihanna recorded it and Jay-Z got on it and it was such a big hit. Now he's in such high demand for working with people. He's just done the Mariah Carey new single and some more stuff with Mary J Blige, so I'm' really happy for him. It was potentially going to be for me, but it was always on the cards that he'd be shopping it to some of the big and established artists out there, so when Rihanna and Jay-Z came through the door it wasn't really that surprising, I didn't feel gutted or anything, I knew that was probably going to happen.

Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.

Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
Keane: ilikemusic because... It’s the way we express ourselves
James, Maroon 5: ilikemusic because... It is a gateway into the present moment.
