Taio Cruz chats to I Like Music
TAIO: Sometimes its random, but usually I'll start something on the keyboard and then I'll put some drums to it and then, when I've got a nice drum pattern and chord progression, I'll walk over to the mic and start mumbling jibberish but with a nice melody, and then I'll put some words with some meaning to it, once I've got that nice melody.
It's kind of like a relationship; you see the beauty at first then get more into the personality. So, with a song, you go for the melody which is the beauty part and then afterwards, you fill it out with the substance and write the lyrics at the end.
ILM: You've been working on producing Daniel Merriweather's eagerly awaited debut album. Tell us more?
TAIO: My management, Jamie Benns and Christian Walberg, Christian owns Merlin Music, the production company who produced Britney's new single as well as Toxic. And they got the information and then Daniel Merriweather's manager is a good friend of mine. So he called up and said, 'do you have some songs for him?' And I said, 'sure I don't have anything now, but I can write something for him in no time.' So that's how that came about.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
