    I reckon the musicians were delighted to back him, they recognise talent when they hear it. Also reckon other singers will be clamouring to sing a duet with him.
    I feel like I was invited to a concert of someone I'd never heard of, but became a lifelong fan. He's certainly someone whose musical journey is worth watching out for.
