George Shelley says a stint working shifts in a north London coffee shop has led him to the most fulfilling musical project of his career.
The 32-year-old singer first found fame with boy band Union J after their appearance on The X Factor in 2012, before finishing runner-up on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2015, but after leaving Union J in 2016, George spent years struggling with grief, industry rejection and financial difficulties – eventually taking shifts as a barista in Enfield last year.
