You've probably heard the story about how I got discovered at some religious Italian cheese and wine festival after singing the Stones' "Jumping Jack Flash" and catching the attention of some head of some record company when I was quite young...or maybe you haven't. You might have even heard about the time my piano teacher told me I had no musicality when I was 8 that one seams to pop up quite a bit too.

I got rejected from being in a school musical, most of my bios talk about that, I don't know why it was probably a good thing anyway.

But ANYWAY I don't find that stuff that important what matters is;

- I made my mum make me my first pair of leather pants when I was 9 after watching Suzi Quatro belt out Can the Can.

- The first song I wrote was called "I Told A Lie" at school on a tissue

- The first time I heard "Father and Son" by Cat Stevens I learned that music had the power to change lives

- My first fan was the pigeon trainer who lived next door

- I'm crazy for Robert Plant he is my hero.

- Numbers suck
