Michael Seale

WHEN a young rapper wins the chance to perform with one of the world’s biggest hip hop artists at the Kentish Town Forum, what does he say?
“It’s my area, I’m going to try and outdo him, and make it into my show,” laughs Michael Seale, aka Novacaine.
Mr Seale, 20, from St Pancras Way, King’s Cross, won the high profile slot warming up for the US superstar Method Man in February by pledging the most money for a Tsunami appeal on radio station Choice FM.
Mr Seale bid £1,300 for the prize, which he says will be “a once in a lifetime experience”.
“I’ve been saving for ages to get the money for studio time, so I had the money anyway,” he says. “But when I heard the competition I went for it. My mind is in eight places at once about it now, but hopefully it will kick start my career.”
The gig is likely to be a sell out and Mr Seale’s friends have made sure they have their tickets already.
Mr Seale, a former student of Holloway Boys School and City and Islington College has performed at the Dome in Kentish Town and is known in local hip hop circles.
