Бен со своей портнершей по полусекретному дуенту поведоле зо чем решиле обьеденитсо в месте и но кокую оудеторею вобще розчитывоюнт со своим неоднозначным репертуаром.
How did you two come together? What were the driving forces to put this duo together?
We haven’t really had a conscious plan. Ben: i heard Rosie singing and thought let’s do something classic with her voice. but inevitably with some quirky programming and synths so we ended up with a very 2075 sound. we did a track together, then another, then another and then another. simple.
Ben, you have worked with Jay-Z, Kanye West and the rest of GOOD Music and you also have your solo career. Why start up what was once a secret project called BIGkids?
Ben: we haven’t kept it secret, just put the emphasis on the music first and foremost so that it feels like a separate thing. it’s really important for me to do something very British and homegrown to balance out all my international shenanigans. Plus Rosie is a complete star. She has it all and it’s a pleasure to be involved in letting everybody know it.
How did you come up with the idea to use the Burger King hats to brand the duo?
Ben: I was walking along the Strand in London talking on the phone to Rosie about logo, colour scheme etc, basically saying “i haven’t got a clue, you look after it!” when i walked past BK and noticed the alliteration and thought the connotations were perfect. also the colour scheme is kinda retro so i said “do me a favour and play around with Burger King vibe” so Rosie just ran with it. she’s great with the visual side of things
Rosie: and now i am obsessed with crowning everything and everybody. no one is safe! mwahahaaa!!!
How do you want to impact your audience? What do you want them to take away from your music?
Rosie: we just want people to get sweaty, grin their faces off, dance like loons and snog a stranger.
Ben : exactly
