What kind of music was playing in your house growing up?

Leona Lewis, the Beastie Boys and Tenth Avenue North. The first love song I ever heard was “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis. A lot of the music that inspires me as an artist – like Elvis – I discovered from going to my grandparents’ house and picking through their barn boxes full of vinyl. 

“Until I Found You” topped the charts. What has been the biggest highlight to come out of the song’s success?

Getting to play at the venues of our heroes in the States. I’m just some Joe Schmo who’s gotten very emotional and now I’m in the shoes of my heroes. I’m just tugging at the laces trying to get them to fit on my feet a little bit. 

Whose shoes have you stepped into on stage that gave you a real pinch-me moment?
