 It was probably my dad who was very hard working and when we were little we had quite a lot of problems at home and stuff like that, and he used to kinda work hard and show me if you work hard you can get on with things in life. His motto was always fail to prepare to fail. There's nothing worse than turning up somewhere for a presentation or whatever and not being prepared. It would be Andy Walters, he was my violin teacher and he was the first one who kind of brought my confidence when it came to music ...mwysoedd ythosedd geisio a blainseithio'r hunain. ac mae'n swyddfa gael gwybod hefyd. A fe rham hi yn gweithio gw alum yma... ...i'r pwysig oeddu rhaid. A mi'n sgwmpio mewn ymlaen i gyda'r cyfoedd. Felly that kind of was the point at which... ...I started to get gigs. Mae'n rhaid i comod â chyrygu. Mae'n meddwl i cormi, ond yn gweld iddyn nhw ymlaen iddyn nhw. was my family particularly my mum. It's something I've always been aware of, it's how supportive my family were particularly as nobody had ever gone into the music industry before but my mother's advice to me as a boy was always there's no such word as can't and that just gave me a belief that whatever I could put my hand to as long as I give it 100% that anything was possible really so yeah I will always thank mum for that bit of advice. When I was in school my role model was my brother he's six years older than me and he worked hard and did well at school I remember going to visit him in university and seeing him having so much fun and making lots of new friends I knew then that I wanted to be like him and also go to university but the best advice came from my parents of course they always told me the harder I worked at school the more career choices that would be open to me when I got older and they were right I worked in an investment bank in London before I moved home trained as a journalist and they got the opportunity to present the weather. I wouldn't really say there was one specific role model to balance here it was you know a mixture of everyone sort of the teachers you were closest to in school they used to sort of you know give you good advice and just help you out throughout you know starting at seven you're really young and by the time you leave comp it's you know you're 18 so it's a long process of you know knowing those people but you know the best advice I think I had was just give it 100% and you know give it all and everything you do.
