Tinie Tempah names next big thing

Tinie Tempah has revealed that he likes to push forward new talent now that he's a household name and double BRIT award winner, and has named one individual as "real fantastic". 

The 'Frisky' star rose to fame in 2010 after his debut single 'Pass Out' stormed the charts and has continued on to have an incredibly successful, not to mention international, career in music. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, he admitted that:

“I always have my head up for new talent. I think it would be stupid not to."

He continued with his prediction for the next big thing and named her as 17-year-old Sasha Keable, who already has a performance at 2009's Wireless Festival and an extensive tour with N-Dubz and the 'Written In The Stars' hit maker under her belt:

"We have a girl on Disturbing London from the BRIT school called Sasha Keable."

“It’s undeniable the school breeds talent – there’s something there that’s making people excel.

Tinie explained that although the young singer-songwriter is still in the 'artist development' period, she is showing fantastic promise and potential:

“Sasha might launch next year. Her stuff is sounding real fantastic."

“I found her at a Peckham talent show two years ago and she’s been hanging around my team, so it’s really more artist development at the moment."

“But she’s got that right mentality and we’ll do the best with her.”
