Ella Henderson

My plan was always to leave school and live in a flat with some friends, have a 9 to 5 job, and try to get as many gigs as I could.

For the most part, he listens to artists who had to struggle to make their music, whether because of their personal demons and ills or those of society.

Jamie Campbell Bower

I think that there should be this thing for cover-ups on tattoos. I want to develop it.

At the moment, you literally have to go red and get it to skin color, which takes forever.

It's their music.

Keith Davis

Parks was a man of perhaps unparalleled artistic talent.

That said, we cannot help but understand that he wishes to have more personal time after many years of service to the arts and we salute and thank him for his formidable accomplishments and significant contributions both to City Opera and to opera in general.
