In brief : “I was born to sing and give as much as I can from the heart, I wanted to tell everyone around the world and every one passing by, that me and Rod sang together from this window .

But he has aspirations to go a lot further and told The Herald: “Our plan is to be a bit like Nike, with Rod as our Michael Jordan.

“He’s our star musician, and we’re now working with Warner Music, MTV, and Abbey Road. Our plan is to be the true rock ‘n’ roll Scottish whisky, and we want to have local bands or artists in Asia and America.”
