Some would say it's been a successful 18 months for singer Ben Drew, aka Plan B; and amongst finishing up his next set and adding the final touches to his forthcoming hip-hop musical Ill Manners, the Brit Award winner has even found time to play an intimate show in Tennessee next month to celebrate Mr. Jack Daniel's birthday.

With his sights firmly set on global stardom, Digital Spy managed to nab 30 minutes of his time to find out how he plans to crack the States, what's in store on his forthcoming hip-hop record The Ballad of Bellmarsh, and whether there's any truth to those Strickland Banks mini movie rumours.
