Tizane Digs Grande: 21-year-old rocker Tizane told us about her Ariana Grande experience.My all-time favourite gig? Hmmm…Well I suppose based on the ‘First cut is always the deepest theory’, I would have to say Ariana Grande at Koko, Camden [London] in 2018.I was 16 and AG was my entrée artist. They were running a comp on Capital Radio which involved having to listen over several days. The prize was to attend an intimate showcase style gig with Ariana, which lo and behold I actually won. When the guy announced my name I all but screamed the house down, I was in such a state of shock I nearly had a serious anxiety attack.None the more I went, and it was so magical, really intimate.  There was hardly anybody there at all and she just chatted to us and performed acoustic versions of her songs. Life changer! I really must thank Ariana for inspiring me to follow in her footsteps and become a musician myself.’Tizane Digs Grande: Tizane’s Forever is Nothing album is out June 23...

Interestingly, many smokers believe using CBD hemp instead of tobacco will provide them with a “healthy” way to combat their cravings. Recent surveys suggest that 24 percent of Americans who use CBD do so to help get rid of their smoking habit. Even more impressive, over 40 percent of former smokers now use CBD instead of tobacco products.However, just because people claim CBD helps with nicotine addiction doesn’t mean it’s genuinely effective…righ...
