Why were you picked up Bryan Adams?
I don't know how Bryan picked me. I have been a huge Bryan Adams fan since childhood. Just like thousands of others, I've grown up listening to his songs. Singing a duet with him on my favourite track was incredible.

How was it dancing with Bryan Adams on stage?
More than anything it was just great fun! He was so friendly and made the entire experience unforgettable.

What was the best moment of your on stage performance with Bryan Adams?
It was after the song when he took me to the front of the stage and we both took a bow in front of the crowd. Absolutely exhilarating! And of course when he put his guitar aside to dance with me.

Are you a good dancer?
I would like to think so.

Were the friends who were there with you at the concert jealous that Bryan Adams selected you to come on stage?
My friends Sam, Zarir, Garth and Gavin who are the musicians who play in the band, The Other People were more than happy to see me on stage! In fact they pushed me to go up since they knew what a big fan of When you're gone I am.
