Smith was raised by a power city banker of a mother and stay-at-home father. He's found himself constantly surrounded by strong females, and his musical icons are all women - including Adele, Amy Winehouse, Beyonce, Whitney Houston and Etta James. He told Boston Globe: "All I know is, female voices truly make me feel. Male voices just don't hit that spot." Don't put yourself down Sam - your voice hits the spot, every time.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
