The music video for Avelinoofficial‘s new song HigherPower is here! Click below to watch the full video and read the north London rapper speak about Wretch32, the importance of kids staying off the streets and his childhood.

He may not be a pastor, but I learn that one of his brothers is, whilst his other brother is married, both younger than him at twenty-one and twenty-two years’ old. “He's been married for 2/3 years. It's a beautiful thing! My beautiful niece is my sister’s – I’ve got 3 sisters - two of them are my half-sisters but I just see them all as family.” Avelino’s family is an integral part of his life – I get the sense that family and music are the core things in his life that keep him going.

Inevitably, dynamics change when a parent passes away and with such a large family, the reality of having to become a single mother is daunting. So what was the biggest change for 14-year-old Avelino when his father died? “It was an accumulation of a lot of things. It starts from your initial programming when you're little and you see your mum working two jobs. I know that in the world there are people worse off than me, I'm ok with that.

For many of us, we begin to feel fulfilled when we recognise or calling. For Avelino, it was when he found his talent within music that he realised what he was put on this Earth to do. “I am here to make music. That is not your calling, it is your gift. You can be great at music and do everything you wanna do and achieve everything you want to achieve for yourself, but that's for you.
