"I WANNA DO SOMETHING MEAN!” SAID BRYSON. It was after after the 2015 Grammys; he hadn’t been up for any awards the night before, but that didn’t stop him “celebrating”. He showed up at Hollywood studio hung over and “pissed off”, in the words of Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, his ‘collabeartor’ that day - moaning about the way his friends were talking about him based on what they’d read in the tabloids. “My friends all read all the gossip shit in the newspapers, and most of them are like, ‘I heard your new album has has a bad review by blah blah’, and I’ve never met these people before”, he told ROLLING STONE last year. “It’s and absolute disgrace and ultimately just a load of bullshit.” * “They were all trying to stir shit up about me”, he says. Bryson however - still recovering from his Grammy partying - coudn’t hit his frequent high notes, still managed to nail his vocal performance in one take.
Bryson then went on to tell us about his record breaking album, ‘Unbreakable’. “It’s weird how my life has escalated so quickly in this industry. I started off busking in the town of Manchester, and now I’m at massive events such as the Grammys receiving awards for my work as an artist, it’s just incredible.” Bryson who grew up in the more rural areas of Manchester talked about how his family struggled financially and how sometimes he would have to busk in order to get a decent meal. “We struggled massively financially as a family. I had one brother and sister growing up with just our mum to rely on. When I got to about 13, I used to stay out late busking in order to help feed my family a decent meal. It was really hard to cope with.” However, Bryson feels that his recent Grammy win is a new stepping-stone in his career as a artist. “I feel now I can support the rest of my family. I’ve recently been able to buy my mum a new house in London which is really special because we can both support each other now that we live in the same area. That’s why winning this Grammy is a massive achievement, not only for me but for my family as well. I’m very blessed.”
