Hooligan Hefs sat down with us and said something that genuinely stopped us in our tracks: he still shocks himself that any of this is happening. He talks about growing up in Doonside, taking a year off music, and why being real about the hard stuff matters more to him than any banger ever could. This is the most grounded and feel-good chat you won't want to miss!
