Along the way we learn about his love of trains, the languages he’d like to learn next, and the one relationship red flag he can’t ignore.

A little insight, a few surprises, and plenty of personality — welcome inside Maverick Sabre’s world.

1.) If you could describe your home in one word what would it be?

Peaceful.

2.)Tell us about a recent purchase you made that you were really excited about?

I bought a rechargeable light from Abigail Ahern. I’m easily pleased, but anything rechargeable I’m into.

3.)What’s always in your fridge at home?

Coconut water and Kerry gold.

4.)If you were to host a dinner party what would you have as the main course?

A lentil and mushroom Bolognese.  

5.)Tell us about a recent getaway you travelled to?

I went to Morocco and travelled down to a beautiful town called Essaouira. Morocco is a very special place, only 4 hours flight from London as well.

6.)What book would you recommend getting in 2026 and why?

Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe.

7.)How would you describe the recent music you’re working on at the moment & what’s the inspiration behind it?

Finishing off some old tunes before I move onto the next album. They are a collection of tunes that haven’t made the albums previously. I’ve always come back to them In some form so wanted to get them out into the world so I can close that chapter.

8.)Your music is deeply human and emotional — how do you feel about AI becoming part of the music-making process?

A.I is cool as a tool, but using it completely to make ideas and then worse to be the artist is a step too far. I like humans writing and singing about their lived experiences, we connect on a pure level when it’s honest. I think most people have been saved or healed In some way through it. I don’t want microwave plastic food, I want home cooked meals with veg from the garden. I feel the same with music. Keep music human.

9.)Tell us something interesting we may not know about you?

I like trains.

10.) If you could go anywhere in the world to record an album where would you like to go?

Kerry, Ireland.

11.) What musical artist have you been listening to at the moment ?

Bleech 9:3 (Irish rock band)

12.)When you come home from touring what’s one thing you enjoy to do when you’re back in London UK?

Walking around north London, I love it. Get out on a clear day at Highbury & Islington and walk all the way to Ally Pally.

13.) If you had to learn a new skill in 2026 what would you like to learn?

Languages. Irish, Spanish & Arabic.

14.) What’s a song you’ve made that you’re proud of and still enjoy listening to?

Into nirvana from When I Wake Up.

15.)If Someone was listening to your music for the first time what song should they listen to first?

Drifting.

16.)What does “home” mean to you at this stage of your life?

Home is a feeling now, not really a place specifically. It’s movable, ever changing. Sometimes home is in the arms of the one you love, but when that love changes your home does too.

17.) Do you create differently when you’re working alone versus collaborating with others?

Definitely. I think my purest music is made alone, but some of my best has been made collaborating.

18.) What’s an immediate red flag for you in a relationship?

Shit taste in music.

19.) What’s a daily ritual you can’t live without when you’re at home?

Stretching.

20.) What’s a misconception people often have about you?

That I’m a rapper. Don’t get me wrong, I am. But I’m also many things, and I’ve sang far more over my career than rapped. But some lazy publications still call me ‘rapper Maverick Sabre’

21.) Are you more of an early morning person or a late-night creative?

Definitely late night creative. When the world shuts off.
