Terri Walker chats to I Like Music
ILM: Four Mobo nominations, a Mercury Prize shortlist, and collaboration with hot producers, what has been the highlight so far?
TERRI: Doing the Mercury awards was great because it was my debut album, so I'd come out the first time and they were saying this girl has one of the best albums of the year (one of twelve)… and I was like, wow I've just come out and I then four nominations and I was like, no this is crazy! But then all these award ceremonies I don't think it's right because it spurs the whole competition thing. And I really believe that with music, there is not only one person that does it, there are so many different genres and awards are like, you make people feel like, she didn't win it, that means she's not as good. But it's not like that. It just means, you might have preferred that but there is so much more out there. There are so many different genres or RnB and soul and Motown you can't put them all in one bracket to compete, but they do they tend to do that. It's a compliment to be nominated for these things, of course, but, at the same time… some say awards, like the Mercury's are curse.

It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
James Blunt: ilikemusic because... conversation is so limited. It’s the best form of expression we have.
