Description

Confident, friendly, and… a little bit crazy!

Mum, Dad, one brother and one sister. Grew up on his mum's Tracy Chapman records, became head chorister of St Margaret's Westminster Abbey, recorded two classical CDs, still at school when he joined a1.

Instruments

I can play the piano and I can play that very, very well. I can also play the violin and the oboe not very well! But I can play the recorder extremely well - my favorite song is called "The Fireman."

Best personal moment

Getting my dog, who's called Holly. She's a little miniature long-haired dachshund

Best a1 moment so far

Getting back our finished tracks from Mike Hedges, because we've always wanted to create our own sound and I think we've managed to capture that.

Best a1 moment you can imagine

For everyone to cotton on to this and get some radio play at last! Apart from that, to just keep on having a lot of success and doing what we love.

Favorite celebrity you've met

Robbie Williams, I thought he was fantastic, really nice. He was just about to go on-stage in Manchester, and he was not feeling very well and he still took the time to come and say, "Thanks for coming, nice to see you.

Celebrity you'd still like to meet

I'd love to meet Tracy Chapman, and I won't stop going on about her until I finally do meet her!

Is there anything you miss out on because you're famous

Looking forward to weekends. When I was at school you'd get that Friday feeling, which was a fantastic feeling.

Do you think you've got a soul mate out there

Yes, and it's a girl! A nice strawberry-flavored girl.

Do you believe in love

I do. You must be really cynical not to.

We catch you on a Saturday night off, what are you doing?

Probably doing boring stuff like watching TV - though me and Christian go out a lot to clubs or for something to eat.

We burst into your flat on a Sunday morning, what are you doing

I'm probably getting out my shotgun, taking shots at you to get you out of my house!

Number one musical hero

Michael Jackson.

Who made you want to be a pop star?

Michael Jackson, when I was just three and watching Top Of The Pops. I actually turned to my mum and said, "I want to be on Top Of The Pops."

Top three albums

Tracy Chapman's self-titled album, Watermark by Enya - it's a flippin' excellent chill-out album - and Snoop Doggy Dogg's Doggy Style.

A song that always makes you get down

Blackstreet's "You Blow My Mind."

A song that always gets you in the mood

A lot of Usher stuff is quite sexy and there's an artist called Joe, whose first album was tremendous.

A song that you always sing in the shower

'Trouble' by Shampoo.

What's your motto

"Take each day as it comes and what you give out comes back multiplied."
