I involve myself in an organisation called Tear Fund.

Our industry is full of all sorts of eccentricities and one of them is owning property.

We need to be adopted by God through Jesus - that was what happened to me, and that's what changed my life so that now, I can see that my career can be part of a calling.

The thrill of hearing your own voice recorded is still there, I still love it, going into the studio and thinking how can I sing this song and between the producers and the musicians you find a way of doing it.

The only advice I would give Christians entering the world of arts: give yourself a period of time, maybe three or four years. If you haven't made it in your chosen art form, dump it.

If I'm going to represent God I have to do it the best I can.

I always find a beautiful choral piece touching, but on the whole, it is not meant to entertain when you have corporate worship.

When I use music on stage, the prime directive is to entertain the public, so it is different.

But Jesus changes your attitude towards yourself and towards other people.

If you can play guitar and sing, you can probably get a gig down the road playing at a restaurant, but don't throw your life away chasing something that is so elusive it will only lead you to regret and may turn you bitter.

I love the opportunity when a pressman asks me questions, so I can bring Christian morals or standards into my answers.

But if you have a solid walk with the Lord, then you won't fear that failure.

So I will go as far as I can into rock and roll carrying my Christian banner.

I realised that God has placed Christians everywhere, to support each other, to support the needy in those areas, and that is the thing that I find is a great plus.
