DJ Mouse And MC Wilko

However, the turning point of their careers was the creation of the song "You Don't Need To Be Big To Be A Hero!" This song had a touch of finesse and no longer contained humorous phrases.In 2001, they started making original and imaginative lyrics and melodies and instant stardom beckoned.

It takes time but keep at it, novice DJs and MCs. At the start of their careers not even Mouse and Wilko were the unstoppable chart legends that they are now. We'll always be prepared to pass on advice if you need it and remember...You Don't Need To Be Big To Be A Hero!
