Like any glittering career, the early days are not all about jet-setting, fine dining and champagne. Indeed, many artists start out with second jobs whilst they seek that first signing or that first big track.
I was lucky enough to work with the London based music maker back in 2008 when, for a brief spell, he passed off as a front-end developer up in Manchester. He knew his way around stylesheet or two but always chased after his true passion: music.
He eventually took the leap of faith and up-sticks and moved to the big smoke. Just look at him now. (a lesson for us all!?)
