Tinie Tempah wants "lifestyle clothing brand"

Tinie Tempah recently spoke with Billboard about his successes in the U.S and revealed he'd be interested in launching a "lifestyle clothing brand". 

The 'Frisky' hitmaker only released his debut album stateside on May 17, but has already enjoyed a number 1 single (and Platinum certification) with 'Written In The Stars' and wants to expand his creativity:

"I like to express myself with what I wear, and I always find I have to go to loads of different brands to achieve a specific look. So I thought, 'Wouldn't it be cool if I created a lifestyle clothing brand that created everything I want out of a brand.' It's currently a work in progress."

He also explained that the rise of the internet has made the music-buying audience more assertive:

"People know what they want. They know what they're into. They know what they want to hear, and it doesn't matter where it's from or who made it. For me over here, everything is still so new and so fresh."

"'Written in the Stars' is doing so good; I couldn't have asked for a better start."
