Whatever comes, goes, so I can't say I won't know until anything happens. Helps with the suspense of the show, you could say. Though I'm not really that special when it comes to romance, straight-up heterosexual. No quirks or cool factors about me in that field."[/i][/color] [hr] [color=Orange][b]Where are you from?[/b][/color] [color=Gray][i]"Well, that's a two part answer. I was born, technically, in Somerset down in the United Kingdom, but my family moved out when I was about 4. Stayed in Vancouver until I was 17 when the music career called and put me into Manhattan, New York. Lived there ever since."[/i][/color] [color=Orange][b]What is your occupation?[/b][/color] [color=Gray][i]"I did tease it a little there. I'm a musician, though that's a broad answer. I'm in three groups, though, two with my cello and one with a synthesizer. One of the cellist groups is my main job, a performing orchestra of modern songs, both original and covered. The other group is more of a sub-par side job, a quartet of cellists who mainly do covers for extra money. Very enjoyable, to say the least. As for the third group, that's more of something I do as a group. I like to experiment with the broad genres of music, so me and a few guys I met whilst touring in the quartet held an open position for a freelance producing group, consisting of mainly synths and other electronic instruments, that people could request for media projects. That has to be one of the more enjoyable factors of my working life right now, seeing as it allows me and a few other people to create what we want from scratch without a strict quota to fill in for."[/i][/color] [color=Orange][b]Do you have any quirks or talents? What about weird facts?[/b][/color] [color=Gray][i]"Talents, mostly trying to be humble about this, is music indefinitely. Been a passions of mine since the start, after all. As for quirks, it's hard to pinpoint. I do like to talk, if that counts as one. Rambling on and on about things that people enjoy, especially if its involving music, is something that I just find absolutely amazing. Funny thing is I used to be called out for being boring because all I seemed to care about was music, no sports or anything exciting. As for weird facts, that's tricky to say as well. That's all dependent on what you think is weird and what you think is normal. The weirdest thing I can say about myself is my obsession with felines, having about 4 at home, but some people think that's completely normal. Feels weird to know that. Oh, and I also love to write. I've got a few unpublished novels back at home, mainly because I'm a bit too timid to publish them."[/i][/color] [hr] [color=Orange][b]What has life been like?[/b][/color] [color=Gray][i]"Well it's been somewhat successful, but that's not to say it's been easy. I passed education nicely. I comfortably live in a nice place and I do what I love, so that's a basic summary of what I'm glad I have. There's the constant stress though that sometimes is given off by my chosen career but, who doesn't live a life like that? As said before, I was born in the United Kingdom and hardly remember it, seeing as I was young. Every year I do go back for a holiday or two, but I can't say that I have any fond nostalgia from my childhood seeing as I spent all of it in Canada. Moving to Canada was a good change though, especially for my passion. Met loads of inspirational people who were willing to push me to aim high as a musician, learning new instruments to add to my wide range of preferred selection. Although, I never felt that I was truly at home, seeing as I moved at such a young age. Once I was finally in the United States, I felt even more alienated. But, that's expected from someone who travels. I liked the movement though. It was a nice change from Vancouver as I felt there was a lot more to suit me as a person. It was a pretty place, sure, but it had so much more to offer in terms of facilities and musical organisations. To be honest, it was only a matter of time before I ended up in the United States. In summary, life's been nice to me, but not nice enough to make it perfect as it is with anyone."[/i][/color] [color=Orange][b]Why do you deserve to win?[/b][/color] [color=Gray][i]"Well, that can't be answered. I think the winner's chance is decided from their activity inside the house. However I act in the house will decide my fate, so right now no one deserves it."[/i][/color] [color=Orange][b]Finally, if you won, what would you do with the money?[/b][/color] [color=Gray][i]"I'd fund more musical projects of course, maybe release one or two of my books depending on how they are viewed. It's very dependent on what I need the money for. Anything I don't need might go to charity or in the pot for savings. Again, it's all subjective."[/i][/color] [/hider] [/centre] [@MissCapnCrunch]
