Early Life
He was born on the 20th November 1986 in Ashford,Kent. When he was young he moved to Australia with his parents. He moved between Perth and Adelaide. When he was 8,he moved back to England and lived in Sheffield. He went to Stocksbridge High School (the same school as Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys) When he was at school his favourite subjects were English and Art and was not interested in Science and Maths.

His first onstage experience was when he was at a concert of his favourite band Funeral for a Friend and he volunteered to sing a song on stage and at the end he cried saying it was the best day of his life.

Personal Life
He is a vegetarian because he watched a video of how animals are treated in the farms and factories and he didn´t want to be a part of that cruelty. Later in 2013 he became vegan. He went on being one of the faces of PETA and designed charity tshirts to put on his clothing line.

He has had a history or drug addiction and abuse. At Reading Festival in 2013 he said- "We got a lot of letters from you guys, which is awesome. A lot of you saying that we saved their lives. I don´t know much about that but i want you to know that you saved my life. A couple of years ago i was a worthless drug addict. I nearly died. If it wasnt for you, i´d be dead.
