I started singing from a real young age. At the age of 3, I told my mum I knew I wanted to be a singer. I loved performing and would get up and sing to anyone who would listen. I started playing guitar in junior school, it was all christian music we were taught to learn. I thought the songs were a drag but i loved the idea of putting words to music so i took the guitar home with me, used the chords I'd learnt and started putting my own words to them. Thats really how my songwriting started. Then in secondary school and college, i joined bands. I played in a band called In City Light and we played up and down the UK and i got a taste of how being on stage really felt. Since then i've been developing my songwriting skills and performing with just me and my guitar. I think most of todays music is really missing out on something, now it's all about how hot you look in tiny shorts whilst singing about some hot dude in a club. it doesn't do anything for me. It's not raw enough, it doesn't mean anything and I want my music to really say something!
