About me - 10 interesting facts

1. I'm a Vegetarian.

I've been a vegetarian for about fifteen years believe it or not! However I feel that i've gone from one extreme to the other as pre-vegetarianism I consumed the worst types of meat possible... think good old spam. In actual fact i'm pretty sure that can't really be classified as 'food' let alone 'meat' so I take it all back.

2. I lived in Indonesia.

A random but very true fact that I did indeed live in Indonesia for 6 months of my early life. Granted I cannot recall a detailed account of my time there as I was quite young. However hearing the amazing stories from my parents and seeing the photographs that documented our time there, paired with the fragments I can remember I feel very lucky. 

3. I'm a musician.

I'm an extremely musical person, without music I wouldn't be the person I am today. I love the way music has the ability to transform a mood, inspire an idea and relax the soul. I'm self taught and I can play the; piano, guitar and the drums.

4. I love to travel.

Travel is something that has inspired both my art and my music. I believe that everyone should travel as much as possible during their lifetime as it can really influence and change you as a person for the better. My favourite places are; Los Angeles, Goa and Colorado. 

5.  I played for England.

I'm really into sport and i've been lucky enough to represent England as a part of the U19 England Rounders team. This involved playing international matches against countries such as Italy and Spain.

6. I've never broken a bone.

I feel that after posting this fact I may regret it... but i've never broken a bone. I am however joining the lacrosse team at Kingston University so I hope I don't find myself having to amend this post!

7. I can hold my breath for 1 minute... (1min 7s to be precise)

The average person can hold their breath for 30 second before having to gasp for air, however this is due to more mental reasons than physical reasoning. I can hold my breath for over a minute due to being able to control my breathing, a skill i've developed through singing. 

8. I can fly a light aircraft.

When I was 15 years old my dad taught me how to fly a four-seater light aircraft, he's a commercial pilot now but used to be an instructor for the RAF. It went a lot smoother than when he attempted to teach me how to drive a car!

9. I've met my musical idol.

Random, but true fact. I've been lucky enough to meet my musical idol 'Ellie Goulding' Twice. An artist that I aspire to become as successful as one day and who has influenced my music development massively. 

10. I've been played on BBC introducing.

Last but not least one of my coolest facts. This past July BBC introducing played a track that featured my vocals 3 weeks in a row! My cover of 'beating heart' by Ellie goulding was remixed by my good friend 'Dan bennett' who is also a DJ. BBC introducing loved the track and are big supporters of both myself and Dan.
