And you got to work with Olly Murs as well, after he said your performance was ‘one of the best he’d ever seen’. How incredible was that feeling?
It was an incredible experience. Anne-Marie and Olly (Murs) turned within seconds, but I had to keep my composure and carry on despite knowing I was going into the next stage.
Olly felt like the perfect choice for me, as he made his career coming off a similar talent show, which is very difficult. It's quite difficult to be taken seriously as an artist once you come off one of these shows, and I just thought he was the best person to help me do that, and he definitely was.
I couldn't really believe that he was saying it, to be honest, but he was so nice throughout the whole process and regularly texted me to make sure I was alright, especially when my audition came out on TV, because obviously that's quite a big moment.
He’s such a great guy, and he really helped me and developed me a lot throughout the whole process. He’s actually helped me since as well with my career afterwards.
Since your time on the show, how has your life changed?
It’s changed a lot. I know everyone says it, but I didn't even expect to get an audition on The Voice, to be honest with you, so to even get that far was incredible, and everything else was just a bonus.
Where I'm from in south-east London, it's quite a rare thing for someone to achieve what I have, and what it did for me was really give me that little confidence boost.
People have realised I’m doing it properly and I’m not just messing around singing, so it has been really nice on that front, and the musical director [on The Voice] really levelled me up so quickly by being around those types of people all the time.
It’s given me the platform to now be a full-time singer-songwriter, which was something I could’ve never dreamed of. Don’t get me wrong, there have been good months and bad months, like with everything, but it has definitely given me the opportunity to do that, and I’ll be forever grateful for that.
