人物介紹
早年經歷
Kavana●難忘的光陰●
Kavana小的時候，他的媽媽就曾看出兒子身上所具有的天份，認為他長大了不是做個傳道士就是一個明星，因為他的幽默和他的不可小看的口才。
“讀書時，我真的就是班上的活寶，女孩子們常常圍著我，因為我常使她們歡笑！而那時候，我便感覺到將來我要搞音樂。”Kavana笑嘻嘻的說著，那神情很頑皮。
為什麼會喜歡音樂，原來是他爸爸潛移默化的栽培。在Kavana兒時，他爸爸在家裡就常放貓王的唱片和其他不同種類的音樂，可以說，從小音樂就是Kavana生命中不可缺少的一部分。
“在我12歲生日那天，媽媽送給了我一把鍵盤，從此，我便開始玩起了音樂。”
最讓Kavana失望而又興奮的事在同一天發生。“那時候，我已成人，非常喜歡和我一同上學的一個女孩，原本我們商量著要一起上大學的，但是有件事突然讓我改變了決定。”原來，Kavana當時正在麥當勞打工，抱著一種試試看的心態，他寄了兩首在家裡錄的Steve Wonder的歌給接待的經紀人。一天，Kavana從麥當勞回家，媽媽告訴他說：經紀人Nigel打電話給你……從那以後，Kavana沒圓大學夢，卻做起了歌手。
演藝經歷
●難忘的經歷●
為了使自己的演藝事業邁向一個新的台階，Kavana沒日沒夜刻苦、全面地學習了6個月有關唱歌的基本功和一些基礎的音樂知識。
“每周交100英磅的學費，學來的成果，令我這一生都受益無窮。即使我像個窮光蛋，連中午買三明治當午餐的錢都沒有，但我那時覺得很充實，感覺自己象個富翁一樣。”Kavana為了學知識，也不在乎別人如何看他，常常泡兩杯茶，搶別人的漢堡當午餐，但沒有人看不起他，反而欣賞他的勤奮、節儉、好學的精神，並視他為淘氣、可愛的小弟弟。
Kavana笑言自己很相信命運，也相信因果關係。《Crazy Chance》使他的命運有所改變，並受到人們的矚目。他說當初如果用了自己寫的歌，就恐怕沒人能認識他了。
●難忘的演出●
Kavana常有機會和一些藝術團同台表演，比如：boyzone、911等。“他們都很好相處，我還記得有次和辣妹一起同台，在她們開始唱《Wannabe》之前，每個人都很緊張，隔周《Wannabe》就打入第三名，我擁抱著她們說：‘下一次見面不知道是幾年後？’”沒想到他還這么多愁善感。
當Kavana的一首《I Can Make You Feel Good》登上榜上第10名時，他說自己簡直不敢相信。當時，只有他的媽媽買回來的飲料點心慶祝。後來的慶功宴，Elton John、Mica Paris也專門為他而慶賀，Kavana十分感動。
在演出時，Kavana總是可以遇到許多熱情的歌迷。一次在義大利，當他下了舞台，有個女孩問他，我可以親你嗎？Kavana那隻當她是輕吻一下，沒想到女孩竟親得他想躲……他說以後決不讓任何女孩親了，因為他不知道怎樣應付。
