The days of an open mic night when I'd rock up in an old jumper are over.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every Friday we'd do a final practice 'walk-through' for the game, and I just remember we were always out on the field dancing and singing together.
Hopefully, I can get multiple distances out there and re-establish myself as one of the best jumpers in the world.
I got to realizing that I wanted to record, I wanted to experiment. And doing those same old songs the same old way - I said, 'I think it's time for me to have some fun.'
When I was younger, I used to be a high jumper before I switched to hurdles.
It's been three years since I last performed here so I'm dying to tear the roof off Wembley Arena with some old school joints and brand new bangers. When I'm done, you're gonna remember it for a long time to come.
I can remember the day I decided I would retire from competitive athletics as vividly as if it were yesterday.
I was two and a half and my folks would put it on the record player and I would run around the house screaming, but I haven't been that hip since.
I actually started singing those songs six or seven years ago, when I was an opening act for Frank Sinatra.
When I performed at 'Open Mic U.K.' I had this connection with the audience that I'd never felt before, and I loved it. It was my first big thing, and looking out into the crowd... was just amazing.
I go to more open mic nights than open mikers.
