Obviously everybody knows that I’m an original songwriter and I got my band. And the guys in Sugar Money, no matter what, are part of my family and they always got something to do with me, and I don’t care if they just hang out with me.
But whatever the Lord throws at me right now, I think I’ve been given more blessings than I ever deserved. If he wants to top it off with anything – boy, girl – I would love either of them.
I’m not trying to be evasive, but when I say yes and no, I say ‘yes’ because there are narrow-minded people that won’t look past the logo and ‘no’ because ‘American Idol’ put me in front of millions of people and I would not have a career without ‘Idol.
I think it has a lot to do with determination. I treat people the way I want to be treated and believe if you work hard you can have the things you want in life.
I was blessed. I had a great childhood and great parents that loved music and family. I moved from England when I was almost 18 and been on my own ever since and have been trying to make a living in the music business for the past twelve years.
