'Jesus Simpson, is swear if you don't get off me right now I'm going to kick you in a place that you don't want to be kicked and as far as I know you want to have kids when your older, correct?

'Yes mom...' Brad replied with a pout as he proceeded to clamber off my half asleep body after waking me up and 5:30 in the morning to tell me about a weird and exciting message he received on Facebook that, may I add, he had been sent a week prior but only stumbled upon a few minutes ago.

'No Leah look, seriously I think this is genuine' he said as he shoved his phone in my face so even if I wanted to I couldn't read it as it was out of focus. Being the loving friend he is he 'accidentally forgot' to turn the brightness down so not only did he wake me up that morning he practically blinded me as well, all within the space of 10 minutes.

After explaining to him that I couldn't see a thing due to the brightness and begging him to make me coffee I finally gave in an read the message.

From: James McVey

Hi Brad, my names James. I know this may seem really weird to you as you have no idea who I am but I'm a singer/songwriter from Bournemouth who is currently under management as a solo artist, but I decided a band would be more fun. After searching for weeks I stumbled upon your cover of Lego House and thought you were extremely talented and that I needed to get in touch. I must stress this isn't a prank and that I would really like to meet you and maybe even write some music with you. What do you say?

'Well, what should I do?' He asked immediately after I'd finished reading, Brad really is the most impatient person I've ever met.

'Well it seems genuine to me, so if I was in your position I'd reply and meet up with him. Brad this could be your big break, I've always told you how good you are, I mean 10,000 views on youtube videos must prove something'

Brad, in my opinion is extremely talented as I've been hearing him sing for as long as I can remember, like I said his Lego House cover has gotten over 10,000 views already and he only put it up a few weeks ago.

'Why don't you look up this James guy on youtube to check he's genuine and see if he's any good? Then at least consider meeting him, it could be good for you'

'Damn Channing you should be a on advise councillor, pass your MacBook and I'll have a look' he replied.

I may have a MacBook but it's extremely worn as I'm on it constantly and Brad uses it to record, edit and upload his videos, which luckily for him I'm fine with. After searching Brads spare room for it, eventually finding it under a pile of his clothes, handing it to him and him searching for James on youtube we finally found his videos. One of the most recent uploads was of a song called 'Move My Way' which neither of us had heard before. We concluded that it must be an original song and clicked on it to see if this McVey guy was good enough to be signed.

The video showed him standing with a guitar explaining that this was an original song and that he hoped we liked it, he began strumming his acoustic guitar and after a few bars began to sing

I wake to find you're already up now, Pull back the curtain, smell the sweet refreshment,Of a brand new day

All out of bed at 11:15, Took in the perfect serenity you give me, Every day...

Damn he's good

The telephone rings out, Oh but you've no worry, you say forget the world, And listen now

So do do do you, do do do you wanna, You wanna move my way, And maybe I don't wanna change

So should should should I, should I should I wanna, I wanna feel this way, So tell me why can't, We just stay the same...

I reached over to pause the video as Brad gave me a confused look

'Reply to him, right now. You can't miss this chance Simpson'
