Phixx – Hold On Me (Feat. Peter Smith)

Phixx – Hold On Me (Feat. Peter Smith)
Q: What are your immediate thoughts on the song?
Craig describes "Hold On Me" as a great song that stands up today due to its 80s throwback vibes and bold artistic choices in the video.
Ambitions (Feat. Joe McElderry)
Q: What are your future ambitions?
I'd love to release music outside of the UK and eventually do a musical film.
Ambitions (Feat. Joe McElderry)
Q: How in a nutshell did the two experiences compare?
Pop star to opera star was a real fun project for me and taught me how to sing classical crossover music, and got me an album, which was unexpected but successful.
Ambitions (Feat. Joe McElderry)
Q: If there was one song that you wish from that album, more people had heard, which one is it?
Fahrenheit would be a fantastic pop song now. I think you could release Fahrenheit now and it would stand up.
