This artist has been dominating the charts with 4 of his singles in the top ten on the R&B chart and his new album is currently number one on the album charts. Sizzle caught up with this fresh, new artist who is giving us exclusive details of their upcoming tour.
Waiting in the corridors of a London hotel, knowing that there was only a door between us (the sizzle team) and hot new artist M.R. , we couldn't help feeling excited! He opened the door and let us in his average hotel room. For a fresh up-and-coming star you would think he lives the rockstar life with beer bottles everywhere and balloons from a wild night out but no. Extremely disappointed we walked into a clean room where the only mess was from some empty chinese food boxes in the corner and the bed was left unmade. We asked about how different his lifestyle must be now "Apart from sleeping in different hotel rooms and half the world knowing your name, it's not that different!" He joked. "But seriously I knew this job contained a lot of hard work but not nearly as much as this!" "Talk us through an average day then." We asked curiously. "Well no day is the same! Every day I'm doing something different but each day starts early and ends late. I get up at around 6am and some mornings I have a meeting with the record company or an interview promoting my album, after this I could have a photo shoot for a magazine then I'll be in the studio for the rest of the day recording songs for my next album or I'll be at a soundcheck for a concert on the night. And these normally finish at 11pm but by the time I get to the hotel, it'll probably be around 2am." "Wow! And we thought our schedules were bad!" We laughed. He offered us some coffee and we got talking some more. "I actually put on an act on stage, I'm not normally that confident!" he laughs. "I feel like the world thinks I'm this tough guy that sings R&B but I'm actually the complete opposite. I'm shy believe it or not! Members of my band have much more confidence than me and they always joke around saying they should be the frontmen and not me!" He joked.
"Are you excited to be headlining your own tour?" we asked. "I am very excited but also quite nervous!" He giggled, "I'm more excited about seeing the fans than actually travelling although it's really awesome that I get to travel the world! That's one of the best things about this job. It gives you amazing opportunities other jobs can't." "We're jealous! Can we come?" We all laughed. After chatting with M.R. and getting to know him more as a person, we realised what a down to earth character he is! He has modesty as well as a good sense of humour and an amazing voice! We love his personality on as and off stage.
