Next up to take a Cash For Questions grilling from Q readers is Zane Lowe. The New Zealander is well known for his many music related activities on Radio 1, covering Festivals on the BBC and of course, he's a musician himself through his being a member of Breaks Co-op. Fancy asking him about these things, or anything else for that matter?
Submit a question for Zane:

You are originally a Kiwi though I guess you've lived in the UK a long time. Do you have any Maori heritage & do you like Maori/ NZ Polynesian music & culture? Keep up the good work by the way.

You are originally (I imagine) a Pakeha (European) Kiwi who's lived in Europe for a long time. Do you have any Maori heritage & do you like Maori/ NZ Polynesian Music? Keep up the good work by the way.

Hey Zane, you've got one of the best jobs in music, what's been the most surreal / unbelievable moment of it all so far?

Zane, on your Show you play some awesome new music... But also some load of crap too... Do you ever play a record and think "WTF am I playing?"

Zane, you've played many diverse acts on your show in the past such as Damien Rice. How much do you have to fight to get acts such as him on?

Do you only push forward and play music you genuinely believe or do Radio 1 decide that certain new releases must form part of the playlist? (even if you think they are rubbish tracks?!)

Zane, love the whole Versus thing you have on Thursdays, I know you are always against djs from Radio 1 - but if you could have a Versus against anyone in the World, who would it be?

- If you could interview any musician, living or dead, who would it be and why?
- Who/What inspired you to get into radio and presenting?
- Do you have a party trick, if so, what?
- Seeing as you often attend gigs as part of your job, do you still go to them in your spare time, just for fun?
