Eliot said: “My first album is the story of my life, so it’s 25 years in the making. I included the cover of the Average White Band’s A Love of Your Own, because I wanted the album to be an honest statement of who I am.”

It’s the first time that the producer and songwriter has stepped into the spotlight himself.

His credits include writing and producing for S Club, Five, Blue and Billy Piper. The song Picture of You, which he wrote for Boyzone, won an Ivor Novello.

Writing in conjunction with Bryan Adams, Eliot’s hits include Baby When You’re Gone featuring Mel C, the title song to Celine Dion’s massive album Let’s Talk About Love, and Never Gonna Break My Faith with Aretha Franklin and Mary J Blige, which won a Grammy.
