Drum and bass artist DJ Bou invited British Airways flight attendant Sophie Turner to join him on stage in Las Vegas after a track he created, sampling her voice, went viral. The track, titled 'STAY SEATED', was inspired by Turner's handling of a disruptive passenger on a flight from London Heathrow to Las Vegas.
Bou, known as the 'Baddadan' artist, shared clips on Instagram on Thursday, August 6, documenting an altercation between passengers and security staff on his flight. Turner was seen sternly telling a passenger, "If I have to tell you again, I will be restraining you, sir, if you do not stay seated."
Impressed by her actions, Bou used the 10-hour flight to create the drum and bass track. He later discovered Turner was a fan of the genre and she messaged him after seeing his Instagram story about making the track. She subsequently took a selfie with him.
Bou debuted 'STAY SEATED' during his set at Vegas' We All Scream on Thursday evening, August 6, bringing Turner on stage to applause from the audience. The problematic passenger from the flight was reportedly escorted off by armed Metropolitan Police officers.
