Homeless… but I still knew I’d make it, says rapper Octavian

RAPPER Octavian says he never gave up hope on landing music stardom, despite being homeless at one point.

The 23-year-old Londoner was celebrating at the weekend after being crowned winner of BBC Music’s Sound Of 2019.

After being voted for by radio’s top dogs, the French/British musician said that even dropping out of the prestigious Brit School failed to dent his destiny.

‘I knew that one day I was going to be successful,’ he said. ‘I get inspired and I try to make a new sound every day.

‘It’s going to be a very loud year for me. Loads of music, loads of visuals, loads of albums.’
