EP: Who are your influences, in music? In life?
[space height=”10″]
CT: Undoubtedly the greatest influences music-wise are Queen and David Bowie. Freddie Mercury ultimate showman and voice and a great songwriter too, and Bowie, well genius nothing more to say. In life as you will have gathered my grandad more than anyone, a great and humble man and I hope that I do him proud with the man that I have become.
CT:Â The thing I would change if I did it all over again would be to start going for it more at a younger age, ignore the doubts of family and just believe in my talent enough to go for it.

EP: What’s your take on the current state of the music industry?
[space height=”10″]
CT: Well I could go on all day with this subject, but I’ll try and keep it brief.
First of all I think to much emphasis is placed on the look of the artist, and the imagery and marketing campaigns that follow and not the actual musical content. A lot of the current hits all seem to derive from the same beat, in a similar key, and have a similar sound…vocals too robotic…too extreme also on a lot of tracks too over the top in my opinion, even established artists of this era can’t seem to diversify or are not allowed to. Where is the next Bowie? I don’t believe the industry allows for such artists to grow anymore, which is sad for the general future of music I believe. Look which artists we grew up with and our parents – now look at today’s and ask yourself, where are the rebels? Where are the innovators? The great songwriters? Only a few and I mean a few will ever stand the test of time …OK…I’ll stop now…

CT: At the moment I’m concentrating on songwriting as I feel that’s where my strength lies, so no plans for live shows in the near future but won’t rule it out. My music can be found on the following links:
