“People always
compare me
to Jhene Aiko”
Spartan talks about music and
life with the new face of R&B
W
hen Lai
Ming first
s t e p p e d
into the
studio for
the first time she knew her
dreams were finally coming
true. Born and bred in South
London, Lai Ming starts her
journey into the daunting
world of music. As she has
now released her new album 98
earlier this year. In this album
her unique colours come alive
through her music. We get to
know the true Lai Ming, if you
just take that little moment to
listen deeply to her lyrics that
tell her story.
Lai Ming starts her first national
tour with Manchester and ends
at the 02 Arena in London.
Lai Ming tells us about her
struggle into the music industry
for years. She said “it got to the
point when I was on the verge
of a breakdown as I got rejected
from so many record labels. I
just couldn’t take it anymore as
I was working so hard to just e
heard”. Obviously she didn’t
give up as we are talking to her
today about her success.
We have learnt that Lai Ming
grew up playing the piano and
since then she has grown a
passion for music. She got to
grade 8 by the age of 10 and she
also played the guitar for fun.
Lai Ming grew up listening to
all genres of music; however
popular R&B would have to be
her favourite hence why this is
the type of genre she produces.
“My favourite new artist would
have to be Alessia Cara”.
Lai Ming emphasises how Jhene
Aiko is her idol. Even though
she is always being compared
to her with her looks and music
she said “I don’t mind as I
adore her. In fact I take it as a
compliment as I adore her so
much”. We can see why people
compare Lai Ming to Jhene
Aiko. However after talking to
both of them and we can see
there is a big contrast between
them.
Lai Ming is extremely excited
for her national tour and
says she will be working with
dancers to get the crowd going.
She can’t wait till the 02 Arena
in London show as all her
friends and family will be there
to support her. She says “as
cheesy as it sounds performing
at the 02 Arena has always been
my dream because as I was
growing up I would always go
the 02 Arena to watch concerts
and I just loved the atmosphere
it was just amazing!. It will
also be a new experience for
her especially as she has never
really travelled outside London
before. Lai Ming grew up with
five brothers and one sister, so it
was really hard booking family
holidays at decent prices.
In the future Lai Ming hopes
to do European tours and
hopefully do several world tours
travelling to places likes Australia,
America and China. This will be a
totally new experience for her and
she hopes she can create amazing
memories for these opportunities
that will be coming her way in the
very near Future.
We finally get to the fun stuff. We
asked Lai Ming a series of questions
and found out: her favourite
colours are purple and blue; she has
a love for cats as she has three; in
her free time she loves to shop (who
doesn’t); her favourite shop to shop
at is Topshop and lastly her favourite
food is anything greasy.
We have enjoyed our chat with Lai
Ming as we learned so many new
interesting things about her. If you
