Danish popstar and songwriter Mercedes joins us here at Superstore at the end of the month for a live PA atop the bar for the launch of new night Bender. A native of Copenhagen, Mercedes now resides in London where she's been wowing both crowds and the press with her fierce sound and quirky style. Ahead of her live performance we caught up with her to find out more about her eclectic taste...
What song sums up summertime...
Roy Ayers - Everybody Loves The Sunshine. Even if the sun isn't shining it's instant sunbeams with this one!
One track that has influenced your own vocal style...
Roxanne Shanté - Roxanne's Revenge. It's the ol' school flows and the high pitched voice.
The track that instantly transports you back to Copenhagen...
Kim Larsen - Midt Om Natten. This reminds me of being a kid and the area where I grew up in Copenhagen.
Best video for nicking fashion tips from...
Oooh there are so many, but today it has to be Oaktown's 357 - Juicy Gotcha Krazy. Those polkadot flat hats and matching catsuits are pretty fancy!
The track that made you want to be musician...
Ah again there are quite a few to be honest, but I just love the energy and fun vibes in the TLC - Ain't Too Proud To Beg video.
That one track you know ALL THE WORDS to...
It's got to be Britney Spears - Hit Me Baby One More Time. I have sung that tune with a comb in my hand in front of the mirror quite a few times.
If your hair was a song...
The Lady Of Rage - Afro Puffs. She is rapping about her afro puffs!
The track that makes you get up and dance on the bar...
House Of Pain - Jump Around. Can't not bounce to that one!
And finally the track that IS living in London...
Madness - Baggy Trousers. It's London innit!
Join Mercedes at Bender on Saturday 27th July at from 9pm - 3am here at Dalston Superstore.
