The honey-voiced Rory Graham aka Rag 'N' Bone Man takes the Best Fit Q&A.

What's your present state of mind and being?

I'm sitting in a country pub. Talking to you. I'd say it's pretty good. 4 years ago I was playing music to 10 people in a crappy venue & working during the day. I'm blessed.

What's the most overrated virtue?

Caution, no one ever achieved greatness from being safe!

What one thing have you learnt from your parents?

Compassion, open mindedness. My mum brought us up not to look at anyone differently. With love & understanding Sounds cheesy but true.

What's the most desirable quality you look for in romantic partner?

A sense of humour is underrated. Laughter is one of the most soul repairing things you can do.

What and where was the greatest meal you ever ate?

I ate fish & chips at a pub in Battersea park with Lamont Dozier while he told me about Motown & working with Marvin Gaye. The greatness mostly attributed to the conversation but the chips were pretty good.

What's your most treasured possession?

This pint of Guinness I'm holding right now! If someone tried to take it from me there'd be trouble.

What was the last dream you had about?

I was fighting zombies with my mate Dave. And my mum. She's surprisingly good with a switch blade! I've been watching to much Walking Dead it seems.

What's the biggest lie on your Wikipedia page?

It's pretty on point Apart from it says Slip Jam B was in Brixton Jamm It's most definitely Brighton born.

If you could say something to your 15-year-old self, what would it be?

Girls don't like rubbish tattoos

And finally, who would you most like to apologise to and why?

My mum. For being an idiot most of my teenage life. The police used to know us by name & that's my fault. Sorry mum.

Rag’n’Bone Man's single Human is out now.
