[B]orn in Stephanie Allen in Birmingham, then moving with her family to Rotterdam in the Netherlands aged four, then back to the UK to live in London at 14 where she’s been ever since, Stefflon Don has made her name thus far on the back of some the best remix and collaboration work you’ll hear, with the likes of American R&B star Jeremih, hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd and London’s Section Boys, as well as tracks of her own that showcase an ability to switch between rap, grime and the Dutch dancehall variation, bubbling – a subgenre made famous in the city of her childhood when a Dutch DJ mistakenly played a dancehall record at the wrong speed.

All this is fast making her into one of the most interesting and versatile talents to watch in the UK at the moment and we caught up with her to talk about the influence of the various cultures that have fed into her life and music, what inspires her and where the party’s at on a Friday night.
