UK house star Nick Bridges from Bodyrox celebrated their new single 'Yeah
Yeah' reaching number 2 on Britain’s pop charts this week and revealed
missing out on the top spot reflected a lifetime of few victories so far.
“I think I won a sandcastle competition once,” Nick told Skrufff, “I had
just turned 25, but I wasn't going to let that get in the way.”
“But we are both obviously delighted about the chart position - it's a great
week for house music,” he said (referring to his Bodyrox production partner
Jon Pearne.)
“Of course we'd love a number one, but getting an essentially underground
house track into the top 40 is an achievement so we are very happy with a
no.2.”
Nick Also revealed his newfound fame has brought him lots of text messages
from unknown numbers though little in terms of armies of adoring female
fans.
“Unfortunately not - in fact since I’ve had my new PR photos done, I seem to
be getting more male attention than female. I knew eye make-up was a bad
idea at the time,” he admitted.
The Ministry Of Sound/ DTPM hearth-throb also denied wearing make-up because
he’s turned metrosexual (‘I wear it because it makes me look fabulous’) and
also insisted his pencil thin goatee beard was in no way a tribute to George
Michael.
“I think you'll find, if you look closely, it's more of a 'Mercury' than a
'Michael',” said Nick (referring to Queen singer Freddie Mercury), “Sh*t,
I'm digging myself a hole now.”
