Are you aware of a lad called Tom Austin from Newport Pagnell? What about Niko B, the rapper whose name is based on a character from GTA? Sound more familiar, yeah? They’re one and the same.

Previously, an unknown 20 year old from Buckinghamshire might not have set the music world alight with a song which peaked at number 26 but these days we’ve all become used to judging popularity in a much wider sense.

You can get these for the sum of £80 at Selfridges, Flannels and End.
