Labrinth, the producer behind hits by UK urban acts JLS, Tinie Tempah, and Professor Green, wants to work with diminutive singer / rapper Cher Lloyd of ITV 1’s X Factor.

The producer and artist, whose real name is Timothy Mckenzie, is most famous for Tinie’s hit ‘Pass Out’, and has already spoken to his boss Simon Cowell about the possibility of working with the 17-year-old.

"Cher's incredible - I love her vibe. She knows who she is and she's fresh, she's very cool”, said McKenzie. "I'd definitely like to work with her. It would be great to get her in the studio."

“There's a lot of talent on this stage“, he added. “I like the fact that they are all singing their own styles now too - you can tell who they are."
