‘Everyone’s got a lucky number haven’t they,’ he said. ‘It’s been a thing for me since I was young, I would see it everywhere. I used to do a bit of gambling when I was younger, and that number was always quite fruitful. It’s in my date of birth… it shows up everywhere. And 2023 was a great year for me, the first year of my daughter’s life – a lot of great things happened.’
Being a new Dad himself James was more than happy to pass on some words of wisdom to mum-to-be Fleur, telling her ‘It’s a bit of a cliche but every child is different and it’s a bit annoying when people give you advice about your own kids. You’re going to parent however you parent so trust your instincts!’
He also revealed that his daughter is following in her father’s musical footsteps: ‘She likes Rick Ross quite a lot – everday i’m hustlin’ – she loves that song. Obviously, we don’t play her the verses but when we put it on, she’ll start rocking back and forth. There’s one song of mine in particular, that settles her when she’s upset. It’s the first song from this album [Bitter Sweet Love – out today], ‘A Year Ago’ and that one she likes.’
