N-Dubz Chat To ilikemusic

ILM: What is it that has enabled you to stay together?

Fazer: Our motivation as a group, as a band and as an act to actually work as hard as we do in the studio. Our Uncle D as well, he played a big part in keeping us together. Also the family side of it. Dappy and Tulisa are family, Dappy is like my brother, Tulisa is like my sister as well. It's all very close and it keeps us together. If we weren't family, certain things we say to each other would get overseen. It helps that we're family. It keeps us together.

ILM: What is the N-Dubz process of making music?

Fazer: I might be sitting in my house on my portable studio, I've got my little Mac Book Pro. I might come up with an idea for a beat, probably write a little melody, not words or anything like that, but come up with a melody for a hook. I'll show the track to Dappy and the beat and the melodies that I've come up with and we'll start adapting with that. Then we'll start coming up with new ideas between us. Dappy will come up with ideas for the chorus maybe, cos obviously he has got that very stand out voice, a unique voice, so we like to put him on the chorus. So Dappy comes up with that and Tulisa brings her own part to the track as well. We do everything ourselves. We record the tracks, we produce the music, we write everything, we mix it, we master it, we do pretty much everything.
