Crazy story: one time I was busking in Chinatown and got spotted by the tour manager for a band called Rednex and asked to join the group on tour. I said yes and now I officially sing with Rednex who are most famous for releasing the song COTTON EYE JOE…. It’s absolutely mad but the takeaway is that I’m never saying no to new opportunities and trying new things and bringing heaps of good energy with me 😎
