Tinie Tempah addresses Oxford Union
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 1 November 2010
Tinie Tempah became the latest pop type to speak to the Oxford Union last night, with student types expected to line up to ask him questions about his rapid rise to fame. Ahead of the event, a spokesperson for the union, Ash Sangha, said: “Tinie’s rise to fame has been meteoric and his rise is a powerfully uplifting tale of ambition, of determination and of chasing your dream all the way. We cannot wait to have him speak here”.
Although the Oxford Union is better known for hosting speeches from writers, thinkers and big political names – both Winston Churchill and Ronald Regan spoke there – it does have occasional populist bookings. Jon Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson and Courtney Love have all spoken in the past.
