A multi-awarded music artist

Before he received such awards to prove he is one great music artist, he never thought he was a good singer when he was young, informed Chicago Tribune in 2013. The world-famous artist started singing in a choir while a lad and he did not know he could actually be a great solo performer.
"I'm telling you, the people that I was playing behind in Akron, Ohio. I knew I couldn't sing. That's how great they were.I wasn't trying. I was just doing background," the "Whatever We Imagine" singer said.
