Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Guitar - Jimi Hendrix
I actually got into him when I was about nine years old. I was watching the Steven Seagal movie Under Siege with my parents and his music came on one of the scenes. I thought it was amazing and mum told me it was a man called Jimi Hendrix. She got me the record out of the cupboard and it got me so excited.
Bass - Elvis
He played the bass so he should be ok, but I want him more for his backing vocals. I think he's such a great performer and I love his voice. He can just do simple bass playing, nothing too fancy. I don't want a flashy bass player for this. I don't like flashy bass playing.
Vocals - Michael Jackson
This is getting very obvious isn't it? But they are the best people! He'd be perfect up front. My first CD I ever got was Off the Wall. Dangerous is probably my favourite album though.
Drums - Ade
He's a brilliant drummer from America. Really mesmerising. He's very old now but played for a lot of groups. He was quite a jazzy player. My friend showed me footage of him online. Everyone is so well known, it's nice to put someone who's not that well known in the group.
Connan Mockasin's album, 'Caramel', is out now. He tours the UK next January
