BEN TIPPLE
THE FIRST... DE'WAYNE 

The first...

...album I fell in love with "

....The Love Below' from Outkast - when they did that double album - was the first time I saw an artist from the south do pop music and do it extremely well. My dad gave it to me, and he was always in and out. It was a gift from him, and I took it even more serious. It was pop music, but it still had a message and story. There were guitars, big hooks, mad harmonies and vocals, which I love to do now. There's a love story and all these brilliant interludes. I still listen to that album whenever I'm creating, or when I'm in love, or when I'm on the road. It's always with me."

...moment I knew I wanted to be a musician
