Tell us three things about yourself . . .
I sang for the first time three years ago and only started doing music a year after that! In my early 20s, I played football for St. Patricks Athletic. I recently sang Lay In The River to Candi Staton in her dressing room and she took my hand, laughed and told me that it was deep.
How would you describe your music?
