'One more chance' whenever needed! When I was growing up, it was predominantly Michael Jackson. The song that was quite poignant for me was 'Leave me alone'. It was the first record i went out ant bought. When i saw him perform, and sell all those records around the world, i thought that was what i would like to do. My mum was a big terence tren D'Arby fan, and he was the first artist i saw perform live, at the southmpton guildhall. We were right up at the front and he had stage presence of prince in terms of the dancing, and the first album of his was hugely inspirational. It made me want to write and then... Nothing happened. It showed me, the rise and fall of an artist.
