Welcome back to another episode of For The Creators, where it’s our job to demystify creativity. In these long form conversations, we tease out tips and tricks from all kinds of creatives whether they’re Musicians, Presenters, Actors, Directors, DJs, Writers, Entrepreneurs and everything in between.

In this episode I sit down with MC Buskin, one third of the UK Garage group the Heartless Crew. As pioneers of UK Garage, Heartless Crew played a fundamental role in the rise of the genre and they continue to be respected globally for their contributions to the UK music scene. I have been a fan of the Heartless Crew since I was in secondary school and listening to them on Mission FM, but I had never really heard their story. So, I was really interested in finding out more about how it all started and how they were able to have a major influence on a genre of music, at such a young age.

I took Bushkin on a trip down memory lane and got an insight into his childhood, his musical influences, the formation of the Heartless Crew, the rise of the Crew and why they eventually decided to go their separate ways in 2011. This was definitely a nostalgic interview for me, but I am extremely proud that I got the chance to do it. I learned so much about Bushkin, the other members of the crew and the music scene in the 90s and 2000s during our conversation, and I genuinely hope that you do to.

So, without further ado, please enjoy my sit-down with, MC Bushkin from the Heartless Crew.
