Hiya Tinyfeet, thanks for joining us in the virtual RGM lounge today. Grab a brew and take a seat ☕️
Thanks for joining us today… Tell us bit about where you are from and how you got into music?
I’m Tinyfeet and I’m from the Worksop/Retford area. I got into music as a way of expressing things I couldn’t really put into words at the time. It started naturally, just messing about, writing bits, and slowly turned into something more serious. Music became a way of making sense of my surroundings and my own head.
What’s the live music scene like in the Worksop/Retford area right now? Anyone we should be looking out for (bar you, of course)?
The scene is quietly bubbling. There’s a lot of talent around here, especially people grafting without a big spotlight on them yet. It’s more of a community vibe than a flashy scene, but that’s what makes it genuine. There are definitely a few local artists pushing boundaries right now and keeping things interesting.
Do you think it’s easy to become a victim of our surroundings sometimes?
Yeah, 100%. Where you’re from can shape how you think and what you believe is possible. If you don’t check yourself, it’s easy to get boxed in by what you see every day. At the same time, those surroundings can also give you something real to talk about if you use them right.
What’s your favourite social media platform to use and why?
Instagram at the moment. It feels more visual and personal, and it’s easier to show different sides of what you’re doing, not just the polished stuff.
We believe it’s essential to have a presence on Facebook, Instagram and X to introduce yourself to all the different types of audiences out there, what’s your thoughts on that?
I agree to a point. Social media’s important if you want people to find you, but it shouldn’t take over the music itself. Each platform reaches different people, so it’s about using them without losing who you are or turning into a content machine.
What’s your view on the music industry today?
It’s oversaturated but full of opportunity at the same time. You don’t need permission anymore, which is a good thing, but it also means you’ve got to work harder to stand out. Authenticity still cuts through though.
What’s the biggest thing you have learned recently as you progress with your music?
Patience. Things don’t happen overnight, and rushing the process usually shows. Trusting your own voice and letting things develop naturally has been a big lesson.
What’s currently in your ears and on rotation at the moment?
A mix of everything really. Old stuff I grew up on, new underground artists, and anything with honest lyrics and atmosphere. Mood-based more than genre-based.
What was your worst experience on stage? Any funny stories to share?
Probably tech issues — mics cutting out, beats not loading, that sort of thing. At the time it’s stressful, but looking back it’s funny. You just learn to laugh it off and keep going.
Got any fun, funny stories from life on the road?
Nothing too wild yet, just the usual long journeys, wrong turns, and late-night food stops that end up being more memorable than the actual destination.
I hear you have new music. What can you tell us about it?
The new music is more honest and more refined. It reflects where I’m at mentally and creatively right now. Still raw, but with more confidence behind it.
What was the recording process like?
Very hands-on. A lot of trial and error, late nights, and reworking things until they felt right. It wasn’t rushed, which helped the songs breathe.
Would you change anything now it’s finished?
There’s always something you could tweak, but that’s part of being an artist. I’m happy with it as a snapshot of where I am right now.
Is there anything else you would like to share with the world?
Just stay true to yourself and don’t let your surroundings define your limits. If you’ve got something to say, say it — someone out there will relate.
