Vocals - Prince
Prince is an amazing songwriter and performer. I have never seen him live but I have seen plenty of videos of him. I really hope to see him play in the future.

Guitar - Jimmy Page
I've chosen Led Zeppelin's guitarist because I've watched endless clips of him on YouTube and his guitar solos are like nothing else.

Bass - Bernard Edwards
He was the bassist for the band Chic, who are probably most famous for their song "Good Times". The Sugar Hill Gang and the Notorious B.I.G. used the bass line from "Good Times" on various tracks. He was an amazing bass player.

Keyboards - Alicia Keys
I think that Alicia would bring some diversity to the group. She's an amazing keys player. She has a lot of attitude and she plays with a lot of emotion. She's a beautiful woman.

Drums - Questlove
I'd like Questlove to play because The Roots are one of my favourite bands of all time and this is mainly because of the drum patterns. I have a lot of respect for him and I even met him after supporting him at the Forum in Kentish Town. He's a down-to-earth, really friendly, intelligent guy and an amazing drummer. His technique is amazing.

Master Shortie's single 'Dead End' is out on Monday. The album 'ADHD' is released on 27 July
