season three of The X Factor, surprising the judges with his incredible talent and instantly gaining a massive fan base of loyal and supportive followers. His individual style and effortless vocals saw him cruise through the competition, gaining international traction and an opportunity to sing for Usher in New York City.

NO BRAKES will be distributed by Record Union nationally, and available from April 8th
