James Morrison chats to I Like Music

ILM: Now, people are saying you sound like Al Green and Otis Redding. We think you sound like you and that your voice is really soulful and soothing. When you did you first realize you could belt out a note or two?

JAMES: It's not that I realised, I just used to do it because I enjoyed it. But I suppose when I got to about 16, I had a little school band, and we were getting quite a lot of gigs. It only started off as a bit of fun, and it got to the point where we were getting loads of gigs all the time. So I thought, we must be doing something allright if we're getting loads of gigs, because we were only a plunky plunky school band having a go at playing some proper songs y'know. I suppose when I got to about 16 I thought this isn't a bad job and it's something I love doing and if I can live off doing this, that'd be great. But I never thought I'd get a deal, I just thought if I can get enough gigs so I don't have to work in a job that I don't enjoy, then that's good enough. But yeah I got really lucky
