"I've supported Lana Del Rey AND Azealia Banks" - What Vince Did Next

Vince Kidd was, without a doubt, the coolest finalist on The Voice last year. He had bags of swag, an amazing voice and clothes that even Lady Gaga would have thought were too trendy. Now, he’s a proper pop star and his career is going from strength to strength. We caught up with him today to find out how life has been since The Voice UK...

Yo Vince! What have you been up to since The Voice UK finished?

I'm actually talking to you from the set of my new video shoot The Zoo! It's going off!

Sounds fun. What else have you been doing?

I dropped the SICK LOVE EP, which was a record I wrote prior to entering The Voice. The record label heard it and loved it and thought it would be a good little teaser 'till we drop the lead single & album! Exciting times!

Exciting times indeed! So, what's it like being an actual, proper artist?

It’s fun! I love making music, videos & playing live. Favourite memories so far have been the tours! I've done two of my own sell out headline tours & then also supported some of my favourite artists - Azealia Banks & Lana Del Rey. Not to mention Cheryl Cole, who I've been a fan of ever since seeing her do that swan dive at the Voice semi final last year.

Oh yeah, we remember that swan dive well. And what was Jessie J like as a coach?

Jessie is one of the most talented people I have ever met! We had a lot in common, from our taste in clothes & music to our sense of humour. She's a proper joker, but would also keep it real with me & make me work hard! She's still very supportive.

Are you glad you took part in The Voice? Would you recommend it to other aspiring artists?

Yeah man! I got some great memories, met some wicked mates & best of all - the most passionate, dopest fans ever!

Will you be watching the new series this Saturday?

Yeah of course! I've heard alot of my mates are on the show this year, so I will definately be supporting. I'm trying not to be biased but I'm TEAM JESSIE! Also, can I have a ticket to come & watch live please?

We’ll see what we can do! Thanks Vince.

Series 2 of The Voice UK starts THIS SATURDAY at 7pm on BBC One and BBC One HD.
