Q.Tell us about who you are & What you do?
My name is Wayne Lawrence, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for my band crossover which we spell XOVA. We started out as a covers band playing classic reggae tracks but I saw an opportunity as a writer to play around with the rules of music and it since became categorised as a crossover sound by intertwining various genres with the intention of hopefully creating a ground breaking , never heard before sound which I think we have achieved

Q: What are your Current projects that you are working on?

Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
I've always said with the right people behind us we can be as good as anyone, so hopefully in 5 years we will be a headlining and influential known band
Q: Where do you get your inspiration from?
My inspiration comes from the paths I choose to walk down, some right some wrong, I take those experiences and put it on a piece of paper
Q: Who would you rather listen to UK or US Music?
I listen to both but ive got to say that it seems to me everyone is running out of ideas and emulating each other and i cant stand all these collaboration, its all record companies putting people on tracks for there own benefits, it ain't like the old days where the songs actually meant something even if done by Lionel Ritchie and Diana
Q:What Artist do you listen to?
I grew up listening to everything from The Beatles to Ub40, my musical background is endless, influence wise, i love great melodies but also love rocking out, harmonies and hooky lyrics so it would be a very long read to list them all

The greatest bands in the world right now, influence our music because we want to be better than them and however good they get, we get a minimum standard to work towards
Q: Please describe your fashion style in 5 words?
REALLY, SHOUD'VE, PHONED, EACH, OTHER
