In this episode Roy discusses his musical journey and how hard work and determination is what led to the bands success. He opens up around his beliefs that our lives are written for us and we are where we are meant to be. His three Sliding Doors Moments include: Forming the band – the phone line that wasn’t engaged, getting signed – the demo CD the exec never normally listens to, and “She’s So Lovely” – rewriting the lyrics and accidentally rewriting the band.
