How did you get your break into the music scene?

I had been busking a lot and playing some gigs and some people from Sony had heard about me so they contacted me asking if I would be interested in doing some demos.  We just went into the studio and they liked the demos so much that they asked me if they could release them as a record.

How would you describe your sound to somebody unfamiliar with your music?

I kind of like to think of it as like James Brown or Bob Marley, but I think it probably sounds a bit more like Bob Dylan.  It is kind of folky, I like a lot of Prince music so I think that maybe a bit of that comes across.

What has been the most embarra

There are probably things I should have been embarrassed about but I wasn’t, like trying to break dance at the Oxton Festival.  But it was a really good gig so I was break dancing coz I was happy.
