Great Company with Jamie Laing

Tinie Tempah made his name as a pioneer of the grime scene. Over the past 15 years, he’s built an incredible career, racking up more than five billion streams and giving us iconic hits like Pass Out, Miami 2 Ibiza and Girls Like.I was so excited to sit down with him on Great Company. And one thing that really stuck with me was just how much he has always believed that he'd be successful.But for Tinie, that's not just been wishful thinking. He’s always had a clear vision for his life and been intentional about making it happen. Winning at life has always been the goal and that means embracing failures, learning lessons and being open to new opportunities.In this conversation Tinie shares:• How he manifested his music career• What his mum taught him about hard work and success• His fear of being a one hit wonder• Why he stepped back from music for nine years - and what’s brought him back• The secret track he produced for DrakeThis conversation is a reminder that believing in yourself is the first step to achieving anything.Tinie Tempah is Great Company.Tinie’s new album, The Night’s Not Dead, is out NOW!
